Interim Finance Lead STDC - the development corporation has had a vacant Head of Finance role. Urgent financial matters had arisen, which required immediate support. The corporation was not be able to set a balanced budget for next year as required by law. STDC finances are extremely complex involving unique agreements with the private sector. A decision was taken to bring in a supernumerary senior finance individual who was sufficiently experienced in both public and private sector accounting. Individuals of this calibre are extremely hard to recruit on short notice .
