The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service Corporate Governance Framework

Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service is funded by a Parliamentary Grant-in-Aid, administered by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the British government.

Operationally, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service is part of the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú. The FCO, in close consultation with Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service, is involved in the process of deciding which languages are broadcast, but production and editorial control rests entirely with the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú.

The relationship between Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service and the FCO is governed by two documents: the Broadcasting Agreement, which sets out the aims and objectives of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service and provisions for performance assessment; and, the Financial Memorandum, which sets out the financial arrangements.

The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service Board is operationally responsible for complying with these two documents.

Within the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú ultimate responsibility for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service is vested in the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Trust, which is the sovereign body of the corporation.

The respective responsibilities of the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Trust and the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú executive Board relating to the operation of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú World Service are outlined in a protocol published by the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Trust.
