Create a full set of group balance sheet reconciliations and backing schedules, so leadership finally has a clear, reliable view of the consolidated numbers. Introduce standardised review routines and templates with the entity teams to keep reporting consistent across the group. Drive the FY2025 statutory accounts and group audit through to completion.
