About the Team
Government Financial Reporting (GFR) is a friendly and encouraging team of around 30 people that sits in HM Treasury’s Public Spending Group. We pride ourselves on developing technical expertise and working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders.
Working in GFR provides exposure to a broad range of finance, policy and risk management colleagues across government. The team is multifaceted, and fully supports learning, development and growth.
GFR has four different workstream branches. You will work in the classifications and budgeting branch. This branch is primarily responsible for providing advice on statistical classification and budgeting issues.
About the Job
This is an exciting role that will allow the postholder to gain an in-depth understanding of the budgeting and statistical classification frameworks used to promote sound financial management across government. The postholder will be supported by team members to develop their communication, analytical and technical skills.
In this role, you will:
Work closely with team members in Government Financial Reporting to provide high-quality advice on the expected statistical classification and budgeting treatment for the creation of new entities, restructuring of existing entities and major government transactions during their policy development phase.
Lead the annual project to update the Consolidated Budgeting Guidance document, which sets out the central government budgeting framework.
Provide advice to colleagues across government on the treatment of balances and transactions within the government budgeting framework and data system structure.
Monitor and manage the risk related to statistical classification issues across government.
Support the relationship between HM Treasury and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) by building strategic relationships with ONS colleagues, to work specific classification issues with and act as liaison between departments and the ONS.
About You
Knowledge of the central government budgeting framework and/or the government finance statistical framework that underpins national accounts would be useful but is not required. The postholder can develop the needed technical skills in post. Holding or working towards an accountancy qualification is not a requirement for this post.
