Summary
Lead Non-Current Assets Business Partner
The HO’s non-current assets have a net book value of around £3.5 billion and the NCA team is responsible for ensuring correct accounting for all stages of the NCA lifecycle, including additions, revaluation, depreciation and amortization, reclassification, impairment, and disposal.
We are in the process of establishing a new NCA Centre of Excellence function which is a great opportunity for the successful candidate to be a part of. The NCA business partner role will; work extensively and provide advice to finance and non-finance stakeholders across the department, set the strategy for their respective areas, be a technical expert, and be responsible for capital expenditure decision-making and the NCA lifecycle throughout the year.
It includes leading a small team of staff and is responsible for designing and implementing strategies and processes which support correct and robust accounting. The postholder will also be accountable for ensuring that the balance on the capital expenditure holding account is reduced and maintained at acceptable levels.
The role has responsibility for interim and year-end activity and supplying evidence to auditors so that audits are delivered successfully and on time. Alongside this, the role is responsible for reviewing and finding resolutions to NAO management letter points.
Balance Sheet and In-Country Visa Income Manager
The balance sheet management team is responsible for ensuring that all balances within the HO are up-to-date and reconciled to independent, evidenced data. The in-country visa income team is responsible for reconciling cash received in respect of visa applications to verifiable application data, to ensure that funds are accounted for correctly. This role leads on all aspects of maintaining the health of the HO’s balance sheet.
The primary responsibility for the postholder regarding balance sheet management involves leading a small team, and working with our shared service provider, to monitor and maintain a programme of reconciliations between balance sheet accounts and independent, verifiable data. The postholder will oversee close working with wider finance colleagues across the business (in particular, management accountants) to improve data quality and to investigate any discrepancies and will lead on establishing accounting treatments for write-offs of aged balance sheet items and investigating any queries as they arise.
In respect of the in-country visa income element of the role, the postholder will lead another small team to maintain good quality reconciliations between cash at bank and visa applications as well as looking to improve data quality by working with the relevant stakeholders.
