Government departments, NHS trusts, local authorities, and public bodies. You face unique accountability requirements, constrained budgets, and the pressure to deliver more with less.
The landscape
Public sector finance operates under different rules. Fund accounting, multi-year spending reviews, ring-fenced budgets, and intense public scrutiny. Whether you're in central government, the NHS, or local government, your finance function needs to balance accountability with efficiency.
Your challenges
Flat or declining budgets, rising demand. Every penny needs to be accounted for, and efficiency savings need to be found and tracked.
Treasury returns, OSCAR, CIPFa stats, performance frameworks. Each requires different views of the same data.
Multiple funding streams, each with different rules. Managing grants, ring-fences, and underspend rules adds complexity to every forecast.
Pay scales, increments, pension contributions, vacancy factors. Staff costs are the biggest budget line and the hardest to forecast.
Spending reviews, medium-term financial strategies, capital programmes. Planning horizons are longer, but certainty is limited.
NAO scrutiny, audit committees, public accountability. Every decision needs a clear audit trail and defensible rationale.
