As with last year, there will again be eight categories, including a new award category, Finance Team of the Year. This will replace the Accounts Team of the Year Award. 

The new award seeks to recognise the work of the wider finance team. 

The HFMA said it is ‘an award that recognises the contribution that the finance team has made in the last 12 months to promoting and improving teamwork, innovation, collaboration, transformation and governance’. 

As well as governance improvements and how the team tackled a challenge or worked to avoid a problem, entrants must also outline how they have acted on the external auditor’s recommendations in their ISA 260 report and how they have furthered the HFMA president’s theme of Everyone counts.

Other awards are for finance director and deputy finance director of the year, and there are categories covering innovation, costing, training, governance and clinician of the year.

The deadline for entries is 29 September, and the shortlisted organisations will be announced at the end of October. 

The winners will be announced on 7 December at the HFMA awards dinner.
