Conclusion
The Cabinet Office told us that, in the light of feedback from government bodies, it has asked the government functions to provide more guidance on how to apply the standards proportionately.33 The functions are currently revising standards and guidance in the light of Project Reset, which plans to transfer more responsibility for enforcing spending controls from the functions to departments. The Cabinet Office told us that these revisions will consider the perspective of small organisations.34 27 Q 7 28 Local Government Boundary Commission for England (SGB0003) 29 C&AG’s Report, para. 13 30 Q 30 31 Q 30 32 Electoral Commission (SGB0005) 33 Q 67 34 Q 90 10 3 Support for small bodies Support from sponsor departments and the centre of government
