Recommendation B24 of the CoI report calls for a review of all Statutory Boards to determine the overall level of governance and steps required to remedy any deficiencies.

The review will also examine the extent to which those boards are behind in their obligations to submit timely financial reports and audits and the extent to which those boards are applying policies intended to promote good governance, such as a conflict of interest policy and a political interference policy.

Review should be undertaken by Senior Public Officer - CoI Report 

It will look at the extent to which those boards follow a due diligence policy and, according to Commissioner Sir Gary R. Hickenbottom, the review should be undertaken by a senior public officer and should identify what steps need to be taken to remedy any deficiencies and a timescale in which these steps should be accomplished, in the form of a report to the Governor.

The review should be completed within six months, according to the terms set out in B24 of the CoI report.
