The Shared Services Strategy for Government committed to converging on a single set of processes for all HR and Finance transactional services across the Civil Service. To date, this work has focussed on designing and agreeing processes for HR and Finance. That design phase is now complete. HR and Finance are now working with departments to understand the gap between the current position and compliance with these agreed processes. This information will be used to set dates and targets for compliance as per the ambition set out in the strategy.
