    This page provides guidance for designated Northern Ireland bodies when providing information for the WGA process.  

    HM Treasury guidance can be found on HM Treasury's WGA website. Treasury's website also contains the CPID list, the SCOA list, the DCT Mapping Tool and the Match Relationships list. However, Northern Ireland bodies must use the NI-specific forms below, and not the forms on Treasury's website.
