Our corporate governance framework sets out how the GLA is governed in line with the highest standards of public service.
Corporate governance
We have a corporate governance framework agreement for the GLA group, published in May 2009. It covers the powers and duties of the GLA group, sets out respective roles and responsibilities and how they should relate to each other. The framework is based on the nine established principles that underpin effective and ethical corporate governance in public service:
- selflessness
- honesty and integrity
- objectivity
- accountability
- openness
- personal judgement
- respect for others
- stewardship
- leadership
and the promotion of a culture and individual behaviours that demonstrate and support the nine core principles, enhance openness and transparency, strengthen coordination across the GLA group and ensure effective and efficient service delivery to Londoners.

Under this framework agreement the GLA has its own Corporate Governance systems to ensure that it achieves its overall purpose and outcomes and operates in an ethical, effective and efficient way.
Each year the GLA produces a review of its governance, the Annual Governance Statement. This is incorporated in its Statement of Accounts, which is published on the website after the end of each financial year on the Accounts information page.
