The Finance & Performance Service
Finance and Performance is part of the Environment Directorate and provides a range of functions to assist other Services in the Directorate and across the Authority  - please see links on the left hand side of this page.

 
What do we do?
Emergency Planning.
The Emergency Planning function is undertaken by a join unit (Denbighshire County Council and Flintshire County Council) based at County Hall, Mold. The team is responsible for coordinating Denbighshire's response to any emergency affecting its community. This may require the mobilisation of County staff and resources as well as assistance from the emergency services, neighbouring local authorities, the utilities, voluntary groups and other organisations. A planned response will mitigate the effects of an emergency incident and assist the community in the return to normality
External Funding
The External Funding team is primarily concerned with the preparation and monitoring of Objective 1 and Interreg project claims across all Directorates. The team is also responsible for the compilation of Local Regeneration Fund grant claims along with the monitoring of Denbighshire's Capital Plan. The team works closely with the Finance team and Development Services and proactively works to ensure that the Authority is fully prepared for all levels of audit. Currently the team is awaiting details of the new Convergence Programme (2007-2013) and is actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with other public bodies on implementing the necessary processes.
