-In the short term I recognise that steps must be taken to address the consequences of the recession. These understandably have been framed around a trade off between cuts in public spending and tax increases. Continue reading Budget Comment: Professor Peter Latchford
Dr John Philpott, Chief Economic Adviser at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) predicts that the coalition government’s deficit reduction measures will stall any recovery in the UK jobs market later this year, result in a post-recession peak in unemployment close to 3 million, and slow any subsequent return to low unemployment. Continue reading Deficit reduction measures will raise UK unemployment close to 3 million by 2012
Hot on the heels of Audit Scotland’s timely publication on the need to improve public sector efficiency comes the call for written evidence from the Scottish Parliament Finance Committee on what preparations are required by the public sector to deliver efficient public services during a time of tightening public expenditure. The evidence period extends to the end of March but the key themes are not hard to discern. Continue reading Can Political Leaders Deliver On Public Sector Cuts?
For many not directly involved in public sector financial reporting the move to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for all public sector entities must feel like finance colleagues creating another self-generating, cottage industry. Shadow accounts, restated balance sheets and further audit reviews leading to the holy grail of WGA (Whole of Government Accounts) seem curious distractions at a time when the public sector is facing huge funding challenges. Continue reading WGA 'The Wholly' Grail of Public Sector Accounting?
Whilst England’s campaign for world cup qualification in South Africa has been impressive, doubts still remain over some of the key positions.

Stuart Littleford speaks with Jeremy Galpin, Sales Director of De Poel Consulting. Prior to joining de Poel, Jeremy spent nine years working for one of the UK’s largest recruitment groups. Having worked initially in operations, Jeremy then progressed to a corporate business development role where he was responsible for delivering group recruitment solutions to some of the UK’s largest logistics and manufacturing companies. Continue reading Is the Government tendering processes a hindrance to the public sector cuts?
Matthew Sanders, CEO for de Poel Consulting, the number one procurer of temporary agency labour in the UK, believes so. The Government tendering processes excluding small businesses (SMEs) from public sector contracts is not a new phenomenon. For years, this volatile albeit significant group has been prohibited from sharing in the estimated £175Bn of tax payers’ money spent on both goods and services every year. Continue reading De Poel Consulting
