Fundamentals of Municipal Finance

Public Sector and Municipal Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Municipal Finance is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through grant management and revenue management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because service delivery failures usually trace back to planning rather than to budget, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with consequence management, municipal budgeting and irregular expenditure in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about consequence management without waiting for a specialist, measured against the Batho Pele principles
Put municipal budgeting on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
