Departmental reviews provide assurance and challenge about the continuing need, efficiency and good governance of public bodies. Since 2016 all departmental reviews have been carried out in line with the Cabinet Office Tailored Reviews: Guidance on Reviews of Public Bodies.

The cycle of Tailored Reviews has however now ended and policy development on a new review programme is currently being undertaken by the Cabinet Office. This departmental review of the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) follows the broad structure that will form the basis of the new review programme, with a focus on 4 key aspects:

  • governance
  • accountability
  • efficacy
  • efficiency

The review was led by Tom McPhail, supported by a small review team from the Department for Work and Pensions and was conducted between April and July 2021.
