Finance Procedures

Chief Executive Instructions

Regulation 6 of the FMA Regulations states that ‘the Chief Executive of an agency is authorised to give instructions on any matter necessary or convenient for the carrying out or giving effect to the Act.’ In effect, Chief Executives may issue instructions on any matter that promotes the efficient, effective and ethical use of the Commonwealth resources for which the Chief Executive is responsible, thus dealing with all issues relating to public money, public property and other resources.

Following recommendations from the Office of Evaluation and Audit, the General Manager as the Chief Executive of the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) has adopted this practice for the TSRA in setting expectations and clearly articulating expected behaviours and practices.

CEIs provide a useful mechanism for Chief Executives to promulgate their policies and rules within their agency, which give application to the principles and requirements of the enabling and governing legislative framework of the organisation. CEIs are generally the primary source of information and advice for officials on the internal financial management practices of an agency.
