South Wales Police Authority is responsible for setting the annual budget for the Force. In addition, we monitor and scrutinise expenditure throughout the year.
We work closely throughout the year with the Wales Audit Office, and our Internal Auditors, Bentley Jennison, to ensure that we are efficient and provide the best possible value of money.

The Authority has its own Treasurer, Lyn James, who works with the Force’s Director of Finance to ensure financial stability. He produces an annual Statement of Accounts, which presents the overall financial position of the Police Authority for a given year.
