CIISA Board of Finance
In addition to the Board, 2024/25 also saw the recruitment of CIISA’s Board of Finance. The
decision to adopt a two-company funding model was designed to keep the collection and
distribution of funding at arm’s length from CIISA’s operations and costs. This helps to
guarantee CIISA’s independence and provides additional scrutiny and oversight to provide
assurance to stakeholders.
