Purpose of document  \n1.1. This framework document (the “framework document”) has been agreed between the Department for Education (DfE) and Oak National Academy (ONA) in accordance with HM Treasury's handbook Managing Public Money 1 (“MPM”) (as updated from time to time) and has been approved by HM Treasury.  \n1.2. The framework document sets out the broad governance framework within which ONA and the DfE operate. It sets out ONA’s core responsibilities; describes the governance and accountability framework that applies between the roles of the DfE and ONA and sets out how the day-to-day relationship works in practice, including in relation to governance and financial matters. The Framework document is intended to support and complement ONA's Articles of Association but in the event of inconsistency, the provisions of the Articles shall prevail.  \n1.3. The document does not convey any legal powers or responsibilities but both parties agree to operate within its terms.  \n1.4. References to ONA include all its subsidiaries and joint ventures that are classified to the public sector and central government for national accounts purposes. If ONA establishes a subsidiary or joint venture, there shall be a document setting out the arrangements between it and ONA agreed with the DfE. Such subsidiaries should only be established in line with appropriate delegations.  \n1.5. Copies of the document and any subsequent amendments have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament and made available to members of the public on the ONA website and on [gov.uk](gov.uk).  \n1.6.
