Reading: FISCAL wins contract for forensic audit software for public sector

FISCAL Technologies, the world-leading provider of accounts payable forensic software, has won a single supplier framework agreement to supply all public sector services in the UK with forensic accounts payable audit software. The agreement enables government organisations including NHS, education and police authorities, to use the North Yorkshire County Council Framework to easily purchase AP Forensics®, FISCAL’s flagship forensic solution, at the best price to help them protect supplier spend and combat fraud.

FISCAL, headquartered in Reading, already protects more than 100 public sector bodies throughout the UK from high-risk transactions and suppliers, processing errors and potential fraud using powerful forensic analysis. These government organisations benefit from constant monitoring across all accounting systems and the software provides key evidence for continuous process improvement.

Colin Rigby, head of strategic alliances and channel at FISCAL Technologies said: “Our successful tender on the Account Payables Audit Solution Framework greatly enhances the portfolio of solutions accessible to public sector finance teams and builds on our growing partnership program in the UK. For public sector organisations that are already under extreme financial pressure to make budget cuts and save money, FISCAL’s proven return on investment means councils and local services will be able to safeguard their spend and ensure they make the best use of taxpayers’ money.”

Matthew Hoyle, procurement projects officer technology and change at North Yorkshire County Council, commented: “The vision of North Yorkshire County Council is to deliver maximum value through commercial capability and quality customer service. We are pleased to welcome FISCAL Technologies as the successful bidder on the Account Payables Audit Solution (APAS) Framework Agreement. It will provide the public sector with specialist forensics accounting software to proactively protect organisations from payments risk whilst ensuring value for money for the taxpayer.”
