The Department’s Annual Report and Accounts (ARA) is a composite document that brings together information from across the business to report on our financial position and activity across the financial year. It is one of the key mechanisms used by Parliament for holding the health and care system financially accountable.

The Section Head - Annual Report role sits within the Financial Accounting and Statutory Reporting branch in the Finance Resource Directorate of DHSC. The role leads a small team to collaborate with colleagues across the Department to produce the Annual Report portion of the ARA.

Applicants are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the Department’s most recent Annual Report and Accounts to further develop their understanding of the role.

**Person specification**:

- Being an expert on the Government Financial Reporting Manual (FReM) and Public Expenditure System (PES) requirements to advise and support colleagues from across the Department on their contributions into the Annual Report.
- Being accountable for assuring senior colleagues (including the Department’s Permanent Secretary and Ministers), the National Audit Office (NAO), and the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC), that the Annual Report reports the Department’s performance in a fair and balanced manner and complies with statutory requirements.
- Providing project management leadership to the overall processes for producing the Annual Report and Accounts (ARA) and the related audit by the NAO. You will effectively identify, manage and escalate timetable risks and issues to line management and the ARA project board.
- Working flexibly and collaboratively to changing demands and manage conflicting priorities to tight timescales, including being an inclusive and visionary leader and developing and motivating a high-performance team to deliver stretching goals to achieve this.
- Providing line management of a small team (one direct report).
- Overseeing the Department’s engagement with work in the local audit market. Working with your team, you will be the voice of the Department and health audit when working across government to attend meetings and support projects towards improvement in the local audit market.
