Internal plans are being prepared by Posts and Directorates across the entirety of the organisation. This is a routine, but important, process to agree objectives alongside budgets for the next financial year and which enables internal accountability for delivery. The internal planning process is being co-ordinated by teams from Finance, Strategy and Delivery Directorates.
