Group Functions

Left To Right

Robert Elliott - Internal Audit Director

Group Internal Audit is an independent reporting function, which allows the board to assess the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls. As Director of Group Internal Audit, Robert Elliott reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Group Board. The department is responsible for reporting on the financial systems and controls of the Group and reviewing their effectiveness. In addition, the department also reviews certain contracts to ensure that operationally we are fulfilling our obligations under those contracts.

Ed Chandler - Group Financial Controller

Group Finance is responsible for the statutory financial reporting, taxation and strategic financial decision making of the Group. The department reviews the financial performance of the Group's international operations and is closely involved in the financial appraisal of acquisitions, capital investment and general funding considerations. There are a number of technical accounting and taxation challenges arising from our innovative service offerings. The department ensures that these comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and liaises with external financial advisors.

Maxwell Segal - Director Of Technology and Innovation

Distinct from our ICT operations our in-house Innovations function is responsible for conceiving new technology developments and value-added services and swiftly prototyping them with our customers. Many new developments are borne from close cooperation with customers and are developed specifically according to their requirements. Separation from ICT means that blue-sky ideas can be developed and trialled very quickly both within GSH and embedded in our customer's business without an impact on ongoing ICT operations and support. Combining Innovations as an overhead with close customer cooperation means our customers can quickly benefit from new service features at no cost.
