The 成人论坛 today announces a significant number of changes to 成人论坛 Finance (成人论坛's finance division), as part of the corporation's drive to make significant cost reductions across its support divisions.

Starting in 2006/7, 成人论坛 Finance is proposing the following changes:
听
the creation of a new specialist Finance Centre in Ty Oldfield (at the 成人论坛's HQ in Cardiff);
听
the introduction of new, simpler business procedures and a reduction in internal trading;
听
the outsourcing of around 40 posts to an external provider in 2007/8.

The number of posts in 成人论坛 Finance will reduce from around 650 in 2005/6 to 310 posts in 2006/7, to 260 posts in 2007/8.

These measures will contribute to an anticipated saving within 成人论坛 Finance of 拢20m by 2008.

Announcing the changes, 成人论坛 Director of Finance Zarin Patel said: "These proposed changes will enable the 成人论坛 to simplify the business side of making programmes and to spend more money on meeting the needs of our audiences.
听
"The proposals will also enable us to maintain and develop consistent business procedures as well as drive continuous improvement.
听
"I believe that, difficult though this is, we are making the right decisions for the whole 成人论坛 and our licence fee payers."

The changes are part of 成人论坛 Director-General Mark Thompson's target for the corporation to find an annual 拢320m savings within three years, to be reinvested into programme making.
