Head of Financial Accounts

The Finance Department supports every aspect of the business and is primarily responsible for ensuring the following:

• optimisation of limited financial resources
• appropriate financial controls in place
• financial policies and procedures adhered to
• compliance with financial reporting requirements

One of the major roles of the Finance Department is to identify appropriate financial information prior to communicating this information to managers and decision-makers, in order that they may make informed judgements and decisions. The Finance Department contributes an objective perspective based on financial assessment techniques.

The Department works closely with SBS, who are the Trust’s shared services provider, to monitor the purchase ledger, sales ledger, procurement, treasury management and payroll functions, providing input and support as appropriate.
