<p>The average time taken to process applications is unavailable in the format requested.
The SIA’s new IT system (introduced in July 2016) enables more detailed performance
analysis. The system shows that the average number of days for processing applications
(including renewals) was 38 days in July and 30 days in August. Once fully embedded,
the SIA expect that the processing time for applications will be quicker than under
the old system. The Security Industry Authority (SIA) have an annual performance target
to process 80% of applications (including renewals) within 25 working days. The SIA
met this annual target in the 2015/16 financial year. Performance for 2016/2017 to
date is included in the table below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Applications</p></td><td><p>Percentage
