<p /> <p /> <p>In one sense, all DWP staff support the Accounting Officer through
their individual responsibilities to work confidently within the system of control
for which the Accounting Officer is ultimately responsible, to ensure the effective
operation of a major government department, which will make some £136.4 billion in
welfare payments this year.</p><p> </p><p>More narrowly, the Accounting Officer is
directly supported in his role by his Finance Director General, the 40 Senior Civil
Servants that comprise that DG's senior management team; and - in turn – by other
colleagues when they handle issues which require explicit Accounting Officer involvement.
