You cannot spend the tax payers money anywhere in Government without an outline Business case (OBC) followed up by a fully specced business case (FBC) that has been peer reviewed, examined for justification and value for money, confirmed as in budget, and in full accordance with fiscal approach and policy as your justification to spend money. And quite rightly so.
