It is essential that the Authority's strategic and corporate plans are quantified within its budgets and capital programmes. As financial planning will form an integral part of the strategic planning process, the Finance team will offer support and guidance throughout the Authority, and is committed to providing relevant and timely monitoring information to service managers and members.

As well as being responsible for budget setting, monitoring and reporting, the Finance team ensures that key financial systems and records are up to date. The department must also ensure compliance with statutory obligations, including the annual Statement of Accounts, and continued development of financial regulations and policies.
