Functional standards exist to create a coherent, effective and mutually understood way of doing business within government organisations and across organisational boundaries, and to provide a stable basis for assurance, risk management and capability improvement. They support value for money for the taxpayer, and continuity of implementation. These standards are mandated for use across central government, and may also be adopted by other public sector organisations.

The quick reference guides included on this page are targeted at specific users of the functional standards.
