Primary Care Trust accounts - A guide for non-executives 2008/09 update and original guide (8th April 2009)
In 2007, the HFMA and the Audit Commission published Primary Care Trust Accounts: A Guide for Non-executives. The guide was developed to help non-executive directors understand, draw conclusions and ask pertinent questions about a trust's accounts, and are a useful tool in getting to grips with the primary financial statements. An update to the guide has been produced in April 2009 to complement the original guides, describing the main changes to the accounts since publication and including additional questions for non-execs to assure themselves that the financial statements represent a true and fair view of the organisation's finances.
