Ensure these are considered by the programme and engage with the relevant Finance expert to involve them as needed to ensure high quality requirements are raised and new ways of working are thoroughly considered, tested and implemented. Pre-empt future demand on Finance and work with the Programme and Finance management to resource and support sufficiently.
- Work with Finance colleagues to understand the financial plans and how modernisation will impact these over time. Influence the development of future plans to incorporate benefits of the programme and the future cost trajectory. Provide latest forecast and budget information for the Programme and monitor progress against these
