Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

79: Preparing for year-end: auditor priorities and key developments
Q: What are the auditor's expectations around sufficiency and reliability of evidence for year-end numbers?
Auditors want enough reliable, third-party-based evidence that directly supports reported figures, with clear links between the evidence and the numbers, and an explicit explanation of any estimations or judgments. They also expect a transparent explanation of the reconciliation between the ledger, consolidation schedules, and the final accounts.
76: HFMA annual conference part two - the ten year plan
Q: What is the biggest challenge for implementing the 10-year plan in the short term?
Balancing short-term service pressures with long-term transformation, including how to bear down waiting lists while accelerating analog-to-digital progress.
76: HFMA annual conference part two - the ten year plan
Q: What do you want to see from finance leaders at the conference to support implementation?
A combination of awareness, willingness to challenge the status quo, and active involvement in designing financial incentives and frameworks that enable the shifts toward prevention, community care, and digital delivery.
76: HFMA annual conference part two - the ten year plan
Q: What are you currently working on to help implement this change?
We are defining a target operating model, selecting integrators for platforms and infrastructure, and coordinating with partners like the GLA and London Councils to align on shared estates and digital services.
74: Exploring the NHS 10-Year plan and what it means for NHS finance staff
Q: How will the plan balance short-term delivery with long-term transformation?
By lifting planning horizons to three to five years, strengthening accountability for those delivering, and using new incentives and governance tools to ensure that day-to-day operations stay aligned with longer-term transformation goals.
