Service charge finding

Ark Workplace Risk — +£283K above work-order authorisation

Ark Workplace Risk invoices exceed the sum of their authorised work orders by approximately £283,000 across the disclosed period.

The facts

Summing Ark Workplace Risk work-order authorised values against the invoice register shows invoices exceeding WO authorisation by approximately £283K. Each WO carries a per-order authority; the aggregate over-run has not been explained in the disclosure pack.

Committee's interpretation

Over-runs of this scale should have triggered a variation- approval process. Committee should ask R&R to identify which approver signed off each over-run and against what documented authority.
