  • The production of statutory budgets;
  • Ongoing monitoring and reporting of income and expenditure;
  • Preparation and publication of the Council's statutory final accounts;
  • Evaluating the implications of legislation on the Council's strategic financial framework for both revenue and capital expenditure;
  • Management of the Council's investments and borrowing;
  • Insurance administration and management;
  • Management of the financial management information system;
  • Preparation of grant claims, financial and statistical returns, VAT returns and the reconciliation of bank accounts.
