Secretariat

The Northern Ireland Assembly employs staff (the Secretariat) to support its work. The Secretariat is divided into six strands; the Director-General’s Office, Information and Outreach, Resources, Properties, Legal and Governance Service and Clerking. There is more information available on the configuration of the Secretariat in the Organisation Chart.

Secretariat Audit and Risk Committee

The Assembly Commission established the Secretariat Audit and Risk Committee (SARC) to support the Director General (in his role as Accounting Officer) and the Assembly Commission and Secretariat Management Group in monitoring their responsibilities for issues of risk, control and governance by reviewing the comprehensiveness of assurances in meeting the organisation’s assurance needs and reviewing the reliability and integrity of these assurances.
