Caldric Randall, the Isle of Man Government’s current Chief Internal Auditor, will be its next Financial Controller.  He will take over the Treasury position when Clive McGreal steps down at the end of April.
 
Mr Randall has been Chief Internal Auditor for the last seven years and his achievements have included: introducing a shared internal audit service for the statutory boards; implementing new processes in relation to local authority accounts; carrying out a major review of cost improvement across the whole of Government; and providing impartial advice and assistance to the Public Accounts Committee of Tynwald.
 
Commenting on his appointment he said: “I am pleased and honoured to have been offered this important role and will seek to fulfil it energetically and to the best of my ability. 
 
“The Island faces economic and financial challenges, but does so from a strong base.  I am confident that, working with colleagues across Government and building on Treasury’s good relationships with the private sector, we can continue to deal with those challenges professionally and enthusiastically.”
 
Chief Financial Officer Malcolm Couch said: “I have worked closely with Caldric since he joined the Treasury and have every confidence that he will prove a success in his new role.  He has shown himself to be a thoroughly professional and hard working officer, with an innovative and reforming approach. The Treasury will face many challenges in the coming years, and the work of the Financial Controller will be vital in dealing with them.
 
“We will commence a hand over process immediately to ensure a smooth transition when Clive McGreal retires later in the year.  I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to Clive for all of his hard work and support to the Treasury over many years.”
