Ethics in the Public Service for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers public finance management and consequence management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because service delivery failures usually trace back to planning rather than to budget, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with municipal budgeting, irregular expenditure and service delivery planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review municipal budgeting and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the MFMA
- Explain irregular expenditure to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about service delivery planning without waiting for a specialist
- Improve intergovernmental relations within their own organisation
