Documents

Details

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) group accounting manual (GAM) includes mandatory accounting guidance for DHSC group bodies (including clinical commissioning groups, NHS trusts, NHS foundation trusts and arm’s length bodies) completing statutory annual reports and accounts.

The GAM is approved by the HM Treasury Financial Reporting Advisory Board. It is based on the 2017 to 2018 Treasury financial reporting manual, adapted for the NHS. The GAM is updated to reflect changes to the 2017 to 2018 Treasury financial reporting manual.

The additional guidance updates the GAM and must be treated as having the same status as the GAM itself. It will be updated as further issues arise, whether related or unrelated to Treasury updates, so that all the additional guidance for 2017 to 2018 will be contained within a single document.
