Support for Finance staff undertaking professional study

In order to support personal development, succession planning and to ensure that staff have the skills needed to deliver a high quality professional finance service, it is expected that on a regular basis the Finance department will support members of staff to undertake study towards professional finance qualifications. This policy aims to clarify what form that support may take and to ensure that managers across the department are providing a consistent and appropriate level of support to staff undertaking professional study.
