Response to the Spending Review 2025 (Phase 2)

Read ACCA's comments on behalf of members

Our feedback is focused on key business areas where we believe investment is needed to modernise government functions, both to respond to a changing world, and to maximise the UK’s growth potential.

The policy areas covered provide the foundations of our economy, such as taxation, skills, and regulation. Many of these functions have suffered from cumulative piecemeal policy changes over many years, resulting in complexity, as well as poor investment in systems and data use. The knock-on impact of this approach has led to poor outcomes for government and users, and consequent erosion of trust by public and businesses.
