- Apply appropriate capitalisation in line with accounting policy.
- Anticipate variances early and maintain a “no surprises” approach.
- Maintain a monthly risk and opportunity view across programmes.
- Uphold strong financial controls and adherence to policy.
- Drive process improvement initiatives to modernise ways of working.
- Use Copilot, AI, Adaptive and Workday to automate reporting and reduce manual effort.
- Embed system-led reporting and reduce reliance on spreadsheets.
