The role
will oversee the functions of Finance, Procurement, and Facilities management, ensuring that the NAO is equipped with the resources to deliver its strategy and demonstrate value for money in its operations. The NAO comprises around 1,100 people who carry out their work from its London and Newcastle Offices; the annual expenditure of the NAO is around £130 million. This role is not only about managing finances but also about championing innovation, promoting best practices, and leading a high-performing team to achieve its strategic objectives. This is an exciting time to join us as we begin our new five-year strategy. The NAO plays an essential role in our democracy. We provide independent assurance to Parliament on government accounts and trusted insights on how well public money is spent. Our 2025-2030 strategy sets out our ambition to increase our impact on the productivity and resilience of services and the quality of financial management and reporting in government. Maintaining and continuing to improve our own high quality financial management and resilient operations supports us to be an even more credible and authoritative voice with Parliament and our other stakeholders.
