Advanced Municipal Finance
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into revenue management, audit action planning and the judgement calls that sit outside the Municipal Systems Act. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on. Delegates leave able to work confidently with consequence management, service delivery planning and municipal budgeting in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve consequence management within their own organisation, measured against the Municipal Systems Act
- Review service delivery planning and say plainly whether it is working
- Bring municipal budgeting into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of grant management rather than escalating it
