8.16 To strengthen the financial backbone throughout the organisation, we recommend establishing Director of Resources posts within each of the TLBs in place of the current Command Secretary. Their primary focus should shift to resource management within the TLB and these post holders must have the financial skills and experience necessary to enable them to carry out this role effectively, and be suitably supported. For the single Services and JFC, individuals should be appointed jointly by the DG Finance and Service Chief / Commander JFC. Whilst on a day-to-day basis the Director of Resources would be a key member of the Service management team, he or she would report jointly and directly to their Service Chief / Commander JFC and the DG Finance. They should have formal membership of the TLB management / operating board and of the Service Board. Their role will be to oversee all aspects of TLB financial planning, including equipment and personnel, to ensure TLB plans are affordable and to ensure that business is conducted within the terms of the delegation agreement, including compliance with centrally mandated processes. They would, as set out above, chair the Command's Investment Approvals Committee.
