A big theme of the emergency budget was (unsurprisingly) efficiency of public services. The Chancellor has committed reductions in planned public spending starting at £23 billion in 2011/12, and rising to £99 billion in 2015/16.

This Guide, produced by the Centre for Cost Management, responds to the challenge of efficiency savings in the public sector.

The findings of the first of a series of online surveys by Financial Director magazine and Expense Reduction Analysts have been published.

In response to the question: Is the Government doing enough to address the UK’s fiscal deficit? the majority of respondents (59%) felt that the current plan is not effective; whilst 19% were not drawn but concluded that the Conservatives will have to fix it.  However more than a fifth (22%) were of the opinion that the Government was doing enough and felt confident  that it will be cut in the time it has been promised by Labour.

The next survey, which can be found at www.financialdirector.co.uk, will look at what cost savings organisations are hoping to achieve in 2010 against the backdrop of continued uncertainty.

Expense Reduction Analysts will be sponsoring the Top Financial Director Award for a Growing Business with a turnover of under £250m. Other categories recognise achievement across the financial sector’s diverse profession, with awards for companies and individuals operating in the practice, business and public sectors, as well as for vendors dedicated to servicing accountants.

More than 1,000 attendees are expected to attend the event, which will take place on Wednesday 17 November 2010, at Battersea Park Events Arena, London.

As a sponsor, Expense Reduction Analysts will benefit from an extensive marketing programme to promote the event, in addition to all the branding opportunities in the lead up to and on the night. At the awards ceremony Expense Reduction Analysts will also have one Platinum table in a prime location and Managing Director Rob Allison will be present to hand over the award to the successful Financial Director.

He comments: “We are proud to be sponsors of the Awards, which are the most respected in the profession. This sponsorship further reflects how far we have come as a business in terms of our marketing and the ambition we have going forward.”

This year Expense Reduction Analysts will be one of the main sponsors of the FD Summit, the leading conference for UK financial directors who want to spend their time hearing the views of the country’s top finance professionals, learning from the best industry experts and sharing ideas with their peers.

Now in its sixth year, the two-day event takes place at the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire between the 16^th-17^th September and some 100 financial directors are expected to attend. The sponsorship includes both the Gala Dinner and Champagne Reception.

Held as firms approach the last trading quarter of the year, the FD Summit 2010 will be perfectly positioned to help financial leaders from both the commercial and public sectors make better plans for the following year.

The Summit will be driven by its own delegates and so will address topics that really matter to finance directors and CFOs. It will cover current challenges faced by financial directors, first hand examples of best practice and fresh insight into key strategic issues.

Chris Aston, Marketing Director at Expense Reduction Analysts explains: “This event is one of the biggest in the calendar of financial directors, a key target for our business. It will help to raise further awareness of Expense Reduction Analysts as the premier cost and purchase management brand in the marketplace.”

The sponsorship package includes: six complimentary tickets for the Gala Dinner; branding on all event literature and within the venue; hosting of the Champagne Reception; and the opportunity to host two tables of ten delegates at the dinner.

Melanie Stern Editor of the Financial Director Magazine interviewed Robert Allison Managing Director of Expense Reduction Analysts regarding cost control strategies organisations can adopt in 2010.
