The Financial Accounts
Section of the Finance Directorate is where most of the technical accounting for
the Trust takes place. During the course of each year this team ensures that
there is enough cash in the bank accounts to finance the transactions of the
Trust, produces the financial information that is needed to effectively manage
the St George's capital works programme, balances all the Trust's various
control accounts and maintains the register which contains details of all the
organisations assets. At the end of each financial year it is the
Financial Accounts Team that has the responsibility for drawing up the Trust's
final accounts which have to be submitted to the NHS Executive and are published
in the House Of Commons Library. This is work that has to be completed
within a tight time scale and also with a high degree of accuracy. Trainee
accountants find working in this area probably the most beneficial to
understanding the nuts and bolts of accounting
in a real environment.
