Internal financial regulations

The Committee on Standards in Public Life (Nolan Committee) has set out seven principles of public life which it believes should apply to all in public service.  Tourism NI has adopted these principles as the basis for working practices across the organisation. It is intended that these principles be cascaded to staff asking them to recognise the importance of the principles and to uphold them at all times.
