Chair’s opening remarks
As in previous years, this session will provide a strategic overview on behalf of the department of health and social care. Vaness and Tim will explore the importance of producing good quality accounts, how these feed into the national picture, including their effect on new funding streams and the autumn statement.
They will also provide feedback on the group accounts, pulling out themes at this level as well as discussing the key challenges ahead for year 24/25, including what to expect in terms of consolidation schedules.
This session will provide an update on financial reporting standards and public sector reporting
standards that will affect NHS bodies in 2023/24 and future years. The session will also cover
changes to auditing standards and regulation that may affect the audit of NHS bodies.

Chair’s opening remarks
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have been introducing RPA as a way of saving time and cutting costs. They started by turning their attention to invoicing as an initial proof of concept and now have bots processing 10,000 invoices per month.
Enlisting the support of a third party as well as students keen to test their coding skills, they were able to build bots to do some of these more labour-intensive tasks, saving approximately 450 hours of administration time.
18 months on and the trust is seeing many tangible results, with RPA now also being adopted and embedded by the workforce team as well as clinical services in the community, being used to identify patient need and saving on wasted clinical visits.
Edd will join delegates today to outline their journey so far, how they were able to engage and educate staff as well as exploring what the future holds for their finance team as they look to incorporate and utilise an AI model to forecast.
