Future Focused Finance Towards Excellence
The Future Focused Finance Towards Excellence Accreditation system is designed to allow the NHS Finance Leadership Council (FLC) to give due recognition to those NHS organisations that have the very best finance skills development culture and practices in place. There are three levels within the process. They reflect the continuous development of the organisation’s finance function, with level three recognising the highest standards of financial competence and commitment to the skills development of the finance team.
The Towards Excellence Accreditation process recognises that NECS has all the right processes and procedures in place to make sure the finance department is a great place to work. We really value a culture where staff feel appreciated and successes are celebrated.
