Exclusive Event: Driving Optimised Business Performance 

Through Smarter, Connected Financial Management

Join Us at Mercedes-Benz World to Redefine Business Performance. An exclusive gathering for Finance and Business Leaders ready to accelerate performance.

In Formula 1, a fraction of a second separates the podium from the pit lane. In business, the same principle applies: the speed of your decisions, the quality of your data, and the agility of your operations determine whether you lead the field or fall behind.

Verostone and specialist partners invite you to step outside the boardroom and onto the track for a high-impact day where strategic insight meets high-velocity execution.

In partnership with:  Xledger | Yooz | Trintech | Agicap

Delivering Clarity and Control: How London Borough of Bexley Modernised Capital Programme Monitoring

From limited visibility to real-time insight: a smarter approach to managing capital programmes in local government.

Effective capital programme management is increasingly challenging for local authorities. Rising financial pressures, complex funding structures, and higher expectations for transparency mean finance teams need clear insight into how capital budgets are planned, funded, and spent. For the London Borough of Bexley, modernising its capital programme monitoring became a priority to improve visibility and support better decision-making.

Bexley’s previous system had reached its limits:

• Difficult to maintain and update
• Limited flexibility for multi-year forecasting
• Poor visibility and confidence in data
• Cumbersome processes for budget holders and finance teams

The brief for the new solution was clear: simplicity, usability, transparency, and strong governance. Working closely with Bexley’s finance and support teams, Verostone implemented a Capital Programme Monitoring solution that met these objectives and integrated smoothly into existing processes.

Key features of the solution include:

• Structured monthly forecasting for the current year plus four years ahead
• User-friendly interfaces that reduce complexity and minimise errors
• End-to-end visibility of actual, committed, and forecast spend
• Tracking of funding sources by period for accurate financial management
• Comprehensive audit trail to support transparency and governance

The solution was rolled out to approximately 100 budget holders, with full knowledge transfer and ongoing maintenance ownership handed to Bexley’s support team.
