8. REVIEWING THE ROLE OF THE SCOTTISH CHILDREN'S REPORTER ADMINISTRATION
8.1 The sponsor Department will conduct a Policy and Financial Management Review ( PFMR) of the SCRA at least every five years or at such other intervals as the sponsor Department may determine. Such reviews will be in two stages.
8.2 The initial stage of the review will focus on whether the SCRA continues to be required; whether NDPB status is correct; and whether the functions in question are being delivered in the most effective manner. As part of this examination there will be a thorough examination of the case for abolition; transferring all or part of the functions to another body; rationalisation privatisation; and continuation as an NDPB.
8.3 If it is decided that the SCRA should continue, the review will focus on the efficiency and effectiveness with which the SCRA carries out its activities; its financial and other management systems; and the efficiency and effectiveness of the Department's procedures for monitoring the SCRA's activities.
