Not set Financial Indicators Accuracy of Cash Forecasting Cashflow Management Scheme: Departments with a gross cashflow of over £3bn p.a. provide daily and monthly forecasts of their gross cash payments and receipts up to six weeks ahead. The scheme monitors the difference between the forecast and outturn and expresses the difference as a percentage variance on forecast.. Target is for the outturn to be within 5% of the forecast.

Not set Not set Working Capital Forecast [% variance of Actual v Forecast] The percentage variance of forecast to actual working capital. Working capital is calculated as : Total current assets less total current liabilities o Current Assets - Inventories - Current trade and other receivables - Cash and cash equivalents - Other current financial assets - Assets classified as held for sale o Current Liabilities - Current trade and other payables - Gilt edged stock - Other current liabilities Annual Current = Q1 2011-12 (Apr-Jun) Previous = Q4 2010-11 (Jan-Mar) * where possible All departments Management Information and Annual Accounts Management information Cabinet Office and Civil Service Commission Not set During Q1 of 2011-12 the Cabinet Office accounts were impacted by a significant level of additional functions resulting from machinery of government changes. The working capital level at this stage - (£46m) - was as expected. The working capital increase - to £9m - reflects the planned settlement of MOG liabilities and reduction in accruals at this stage of the year, as well as a planned increase in cash balances to cover National School, returning officer expenses and other working capital requirements. The variance is therefore nil. Not set
Not set Not set Net Book Value (%) [% variance of Actual v Forecast] The percentage variance of forecast to actual Net Book Value(NBV) of Fixed Assets. NBV of fixed assets is calculated as the historic cost or valuation (of the assets included) less accumulated depreciation (i.e. depreciation to date) of the assets. Note that in WGA, Fixed Assets are referred to as "Non-current assets" and include the following: - property, plant and equipment - investment property - intangible assets - non-current trade and other receivables - Other non-current financial assets Annual Current = Q1 2011-12 (Apr-Jun) Previous = Q4 2010-11 (Jan-Mar) * where possible All departments Management Information and Annual Accounts Management information Cabinet Office and Civil Service Commission Not set During Q1 of 2010-11 the Cabinet Office accounts were impacted by a significant level of additional functions resulting from machinery of government changes. The total net book value at that stage £203.2m - was as expected. We are now using this level as the baseline for measuring the quarterly movements in 2011-12. The level reported at 30/6/11 - £205.1m - is as forecast, reflecting expected expenditure on the major overhaul of 70 Whitehall. The variance is therefore nil. Not set

Management information Not set For some quarters, indivdual organisation's information may not be included in the total figure presented.

The paybill costs should include: o Staff salaries; o Allowances; o Overtime payments; o Non-consolidated pot; o ERNIC; o Employers’ pensions contributions. Figure presented should be a rolling annual average i.e. Current period will show total paybill costs for the year ending the reference period, divided by the average FTE staff in post over the year (where the average staff in post should be a simple average i.e. (the FTE staff in post at start of period plus FTE staff in post at end of period) divided by 2. The previous period will present a figure for the year ending the previous quarter. Departments should present a figure as defined, but given that organisations are supplying paybill costs each month to CO for the monthly workforce MI collection, they should look to ensure that, where appropriate, information is consistent across both the monthly MI returns and their QDS.

Not set Department & Agencies only; Workforce Shape - Administrative Assistants and - Executive Officers - Higher and Senior Executive Officers - Grade 7/6 - Senior Civil Servants The proportion of staff mapped across to the standard Civil Service grades. SCS staff should be those at SCS level. All Civil Service organisations should be able to map to the standard Civil Service grades - this is the same as the process that occur each year as part of the annual civil service employmnent survey. Where organisations do not operate the standard Civil Service grades, they should supply their best estimate, mapping across to the broad responsibility levels as appropriate. Unknown grades should be apportioned across the grades as necessary so that underlying numbers align with the number of FTE payroll staff supplied above. Where underlying numbers are not consistent, departments should provide an explanatory note in their meta-data sheet. Departments have now been asked to supply proportions in each grade rather than raw numbers. This is because this is easier to interpret and is consistent with the measures for diversity. Organisations should ensure consistency with the information supplied for the Cabinet Office monthly workforce MI collection. Underlying numbers used to calculate proportions should align with the number of FTE staff papyroll staff supplied above. At the appropriate reference point i.e. end of March, figures should align with the ONS Annual Civil Service Employment Survey (ACSES), where approporiate.

Not set Not set Annual Turnover Rate Annual turnover rate (Headcount basis): The number of staff exiting the organisation during the year ending the reference period, divided by the average staff in post over the year ending the reference period (where the average staff in post is calculated as the number of staff in post at the start and end of the relevant period divided by 2, and leavers are ALL leavers exiting the organisation during the period). Each quarter’s figure will show an annual turnover rate for the year ending that quarter. The definition used here is one of many interpretations of 'turnover'. Whilst we appreciate that organisations may use different measures for their own internal monitoring, we have opted for the described measure to ensure consistency across departments. Where organisations wish to make other measures available, they are free to do so in accompanying commentary or their meta-data sheet as appropriate. Figures used in the calculation of the denominator should be consistent with those used elsewhere.

Not set Not set Workforce Diversity [Senior Civil Servants only] BME as BME staff above but for SCS level staff only. There was an error in the detailed definition supplied for the first QDS - the denominator was incorrectly described as all SCS staff. The denominator definition has now been amended. Organisations were previously (for QDS1) requested to report figures in line with that supplied for the Cabinet Office bi-annual SCS database collection. Given that we wish to ensure more timely access to the most recent available data, organisations should in future supply SCS diversity figures as at the specified reference date as appropriate, sourcing these from their internal HR systems. This will mean that figures are in line with diversity figures supplied for delegated grades. Where appropriate, organisations may still wish to satisfy themselves that numbers supplied for the CO SCS database (as at 31 March and 30 September each year) are consistent with those supplied for their QDS for the relevant reference periods. NB: Numbers may not always align since the SCS database collects information on core SCS staff and therefore excludes some senior staff who may be working at an equivalent level to SCS staff but who are not considered part of the SCS proper.
