What is Finance Support

Large transformational programmes need dedicated financial leadership. Furthermore, systems need an oversight of the combined financial impact of their transformation programmes.

At a system level, financial sustainability is a key objective to meet statutory duties and to ensure value for money is achieved. Transformation programmes need to be working in congruence and in a consistent manner to ensure resources are prioritised effectively.

At a programme level, a key part of the financial leadership is support writing business cases. However, it is also much wider than this: working with both the programme director and system finance leaders to strategically manage the financial aspects of the programme.
