“Who would have thought learning about finance and budgets could be made an interesting day – many thanks for an enjoyable and informative day David.” – Mark Davies, Hotel Services Manager, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust

It’s always interesting to see how people’s confidence in interpreting financial reports can be transformed in just a day. I’ve spent two decades doing finance training within the NHS and have developed a Seven Step Method for interpreting financial reports using seven questions, making three calculations and taking no more than 15 minutes. It works every time.

It’s essential to have a Budgetary Control Policy within your organisation if you’re going to have clear standards of financial support and clear policies for financial practice. Examples of Budgetary Control Policies include:
Lincolnshire Partnership – Budgetary Control Manual
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust – Budgetary Control Policy

Many thanks to everyone who made the day so successful.
