Planning and governance
To support the Chief Executive in both her statutory responsibilities and her duties as an Accounting Officer, the UKSC and JCPC's internal governance structure comprises a Management Board, an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Health and Safety Committee. The administration's annual Business Plan, Mission and Strategic Objectives can be found below.
Complementing the work of the Management Board, a Strategic Advisory Board was established in 2016, comprising the President, the Deputy President, one other Justice appointed by the President, the Chief Executive, the Director of Corporate Services, the Registrar and the UKSC's two Non-Executive Directors. Its remit is to consider the strategic direction of the Court and to approve and review the UKSC's Strategic Framework. This Board has no direct role in managing the judicial or non-judicial functions of the Court.

Annual Reports and Accounts
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council presents an annual report and accounts to Parliament for each financial year, usually in July. The annual report and accounts provides Parliament and the public with information and statistics about the Court's activities during the year. It also provides information to the House of Commons and taxpayers on how the Court has spent public money and the Court's financial position at the end of each year.
Business Plans
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council publishes a business plan at the beginning of each financial year. The business plan sets out the vision and strategic objectives of the Court for that year and what activities the Court administration is planning to undertake in order to meet the vision and objectives. The Court is currently on Year 2 of the 2023-26 Business Plan.
