On 27 May we published our transparency statement. The statement sets out our commitments to those involved and interested in our work in terms of how we will engage and what information we will provide throughout the life of a case or project.

The OFT's transparency commitments, as set out in our recent transparency statement (pdf 267kb), came into force on 1 July 2010.

In summary, the statement outlines our commitment to: 

  • consistently provide parties with information at the start of an enforcement action, including OFT investigation team contact details and timescale information
  • regularly update parties on case status and timescales, including, where appropriate, providing draft information requests in advance of issuing them formally and sharing provisional thinking
  • provide better information on our website relating to project and case work (where they are in the public domain)
  • provide summaries of our completed work on our website together with more performance data in our Annual Report, and
  • strive to maintain our values and attitudes which are in line with the principles of good administration.

We ask those who work with us to hold us to account if we fail to meet expectations. We will aim to put things right or as far as possible explain why we cannot meet our commitment. If you wish to raise any issues in relation to our transparency, visit our Complaint procedures against the OFT page
