  • Producing major financial and statistical publications, including Public Expenditure Statistical Analysis and Country and Regional Analysis.
  • Providing advice to government departments and HM Treasury Spending Teams (who manage the Treasury's spending relationship with other government departments) on complex or novel transactions; and financial reporting and statistical classification requirements.
  • Managing relationships with key independent external partners, including the National Audit Office, the Office for National Statistics, the Financial Reporting Advisory Board (FRAB), and a number of accounting standards bodies both in the UK and internationally.


GFR comprises around 30 members of staff and provides exposure to a wide range of colleagues across the Government Finance Function, as well as working on areas of emerging policy and risk management within government.
