===Board structure===
The chief executive was accountable to the Secretary of State for ensuring that the DSA met its obligations and delivered its targets and services. The chief executive had overall responsibility for the DSA's activities, ensuring it met its financial obligations, and providing assurance of a sound system of internal control. The Director General of Motoring and Freight Services was the additional accounting officer.

The chief executive was supported by an executive board, including two non-executive directors. The executive board's role was to provide support and advice, and met monthly.

A separate audit and risk management committee, comprising non-executive directors, acted independently of the executive board to provide assurance  to the chief executive on financial and non-financial matters, including corporate governance and risk management.

The change board, attended by the chief executive and appropriate directors, oversaw the development and effective management of the DSA's investment plan of change projects and programmes, and met monthly.

The operational performance group, which also met monthly, was chaired by the operations director and attended by senior managers, and monitored performance against targets and business plan objectives.
