Breaking down finance scrutiny – how to read the story behind the numbers

Budgets and medium-term financial plans tell a story about an organisation’s priorities, performance, and risks.

This free online session will help scrutiny councillors and officers that support them, unpack that story, understand what the figures are really saying, and identify the key questions to ask. 

Ideal for new members and officers that support scrutiny, as well as a refresher for those with more experience.

Come and join in as we discuss a practical framework for scrutinising financial plans, exploring risk, testing whether delivery matches ambition, and providing the governance grip needed to support effective decision-making.
