Here are a few things the functions might do:

· Manage the department’s timetable for business planning and budget, in line with commitments for Cabinet Office and Treasury

· Prepare the department’s “single departmental plan” (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/single-departmental-plans-for-2015-to-2020)

· Prepare agreement of corporate (department level) priorities

· Prepare the annual corporate business plan and manage the process for reviewing it

· Coordinate lower level business plans across the department (eg identifying gaps/overlaps)

· Lead/coordiante/develop the department’s performance reporting (ie reporting performance against KPIs)

· Prepare the performance section of the department’s Annual Report

If you’d want to discuss, I’d be happy to meet up for a drink in Cambridge. And/or if you want to learn more/look sideways, happy to arrange something for you with the planning & performance team in the FSA.
