Advanced Public Sector Financial Management

Finance and Accounting|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into financial statement preparation, revenue recognition and the judgement calls that sit outside GRAP for public entities. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because boards increasingly expect finance to explain the business, not only report on it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with management accounting, internal controls and cost allocation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Explain management accounting to someone who does not do the work, measured against GRAP for public entities
Make a decision about internal controls without waiting for a specialist
Spot where cost allocation is failing before it becomes a finding
Improve cash flow forecasting within their own organisation
