You are invited to our next  webinar:

Accounts Payable in the NHS: Real Insights

How does your AP compare with your NHS peers? Where are you losing money, and where can your risk controls be strengthened?

Our next webinar answers those questions with real UK NHS benchmark data.

FISCAL processes 38% of NHS front line spend. That breadth of data reveals patterns no single trust would ever see in isolation, including where cash leakage hides, which risk controls consistently fall short, and where the NHS outperforms the rest of the UK economy and where it doesn't.

Join FISCAL's Ian Bamber as he shares the key benchmarks on NHS AP risk. He'll show you where the losses are occurring, which controls are working and which aren't, and what the best-performing trusts are doing differently.

Discover benchmarks and quartile breakdowns covering:

  • Supplier dormancy.
  • PO compliance.
  • Statement reconciliation.
  • Payment performance.

What you'll learn:

  • How the NHS performs against the wider UK economy on general AP controls.
  • How supplier dormancy creates ECCTA and counter-fraud exposure.
  • Why high PO compliance doesn't necessarily signal strong AP controls.
  • The scale of unrecovered working capital sitting in statement reconciliation, and how to build a realistic, scalable process to capture it.
  • How your payment performance compares against sector medians, and what to do about Better Payment Practice Code compliance.

Why attend?

This is a key event for Directors of Finance, Deputy Directors of Finance, Financial Controllers, Heads of Financial Services and senior AP and internal audit leads across trusts, foundation trusts and ICBs who want independent, sector-specific evidence to strengthen risk controls, demonstrate compliance to internal and external auditors, and protect working capital under continued efficiency pressure.

"At first I was a little unsure about FISCAL’s claim that we would discover duplicates in a very short space of time. But I have to say, on the very first run we found duplicates and errors that would never have been highlighted by our current system of checks."

Payments Manager, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust

"We are extremely pleased with the value we get from the software. And there is no way I would take the risk of making duplicate payments now that we have FISCAL’s software in place. Why should I?"

 

Head of Financial Operations, London and Quadrant

"Across the areas of duplicate payment prevention, time savings and process improvements we have seen an excellent return on investment and are confident that FISCAL will continue protecting Allscripts’ working capital into the future."
