    Cash management and departmental supply

    All central government income and expenditure flows through the Northern Ireland Consolidated Fund.

    Departments forecast their monthly block grant requirements which are drawn down from Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT), through the Northern Ireland Office (NIO). Any daily surplus balances in the government pool of accounts are invested with the Bank of England by Government Accounts Branch (DoF). The branch also ensures that the daily cash requirements of all departments (including EU monies) are met and in so doing disburses some £14 billion in annual supply.

    Government loans

    This section contains guidance issued on the government loan arrangements for local authorities, schools, NIHE and other public bodies. That is, the payment of loans and re-coupment of payments due to the consolidated fund.
