Governance
The 大象传媒 World Service Corporate Governance Framework
大象传媒 World Service is funded by a Parliamentary Grant-in-Aid, administered by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the British government.
Operationally, 大象传媒 World Service is part of the 大象传媒. The FCO, in close consultation with 大象传媒 World Service, is involved in the process of deciding which languages are broadcast, but production and editorial control rests entirely with the 大象传媒.
The relationship between 大象传媒 World Service and the FCO is governed by two documents: the Broadcasting Agreement, which sets out the aims and objectives of 大象传媒 World Service and provisions for performance assessment; and, the Financial Memorandum, which sets out the financial arrangements.
The 大象传媒 World Service Board is operationally responsible for complying with these two documents.
Within the 大象传媒 ultimate responsibility for 大象传媒 World Service is vested in the 大象传媒 Trust, which is the sovereign body of the corporation. The 大象传媒 Trust and the 大象传媒 executive Board ensure that 大象传媒 World Service operates responsibly and maintains high standards of editorial integrity and content.
The respective responsibilities of the 大象传媒 Trust and the 大象传媒 executive Board relating to the operation of 大象传媒 World Service are outlined in a protocol published by the 大象传媒 Trust.
