Corporate Finance


Corporate Finance's overall objective is to ensure that the best possible financial support is provided to help the council achieve its aims and objectives.

This is achieved through:

  • Securing stewardship - making sure we have control, probity, accountability and that we recognise regulatory obligations and the statutory role of the Section 151 Officer.  
  • Supporting performance - by being responsive to customers, by being efficient, effective and economic, and by maintaining a commitment to improving performance.   
  • Enabling transformation - by being strategic and customer-led, future-orientated, proactive in managing change and risk, and receptive to new ideas.

It provides the following key services:

  • internal audit and risk
  • payroll and pensions
  • financial resources
  • strategic finance
  • revenues and benefits
