HM Treasury has released new guidance detailing how civil servants can become independent assurance reviewers for the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA). NISTA is responsible for organising and managing independent assurance reviews for the government's most complex and high-risk projects.
These assurance reviews are considered crucial for successful project delivery. The reviews are conducted by a group of independent, accredited assurance reviewers drawn from both the civil service and industry. The guidance confirms that any civil servant is eligible to apply to become a reviewer.
