Aboutthe Team
TheChief Secretary of the Treasury (CST) has outlined the government’sambition to rewire the state – see Institute forGovernment speech. Central to this vision is morecollaboration and transparency between departments and the centreof government on spending, requiring a greater level ofsharing and harmonising of key data sets (Finance, Outcome &Performancedata).
To meetthe spending challenges of the future, HM Treasury is committedto developing an integrated datasolution which will enable a single version of the truthwhich provides real-time, standardised data onfinance, outcomes and performance. This will allow forgreater autonomy for departments, more open conversations betweendepartments and HMT and more effective, data-driven decisionmaking, ultimately leading to better outcomes for thepublic.
The Finance and Performance DataIntegration Service (FPDIS) is a key part of the Government’sambition to rewire the state. The new compact between departmentand the centre requires more and better data, and thisprogramme is the means by which the Treasury will getthat data.
