HM REVENUE & CUSTOMS WIN PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCE AWARD
Just seven months after it was formed, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has been recognised as having the best finance team within the public sector.
The CIMA Financial Management Awards recognise excellence in the finance profession and organisations operating within it. Last night's awards ceremony, held at the Waldorf Hilton in London, recognised professionals from across all sectors of business.
Since it was established in April 2005, HM Revenue & Customs has brought together more than 100,000 employees to form a single department from the old Inland Revenue and HM Customs & Excise. It is now the largest department in the Civil Service.
In awarding HMRC the Public Sector Finance Team of the Year, the judges said:
"HM Revenue & Customs overcame a huge challenge in the joining of the two separate cultures to shape a new, modern finance function almost from scratch. The project was delivered on time and within the challenge of a rapidly changing environment."
David Varney, Chairman, HM Revenue & Customs said:
"It has been a long, hard climb to create the department's new finance function - given we collect some £370 billion and disburse £12 billion annually. The public acknowledgement is a positive encouragement to all those members of HMRC who work so hard to achieve these results."
