Fundamentals of Public Finance Management
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Public Finance Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through public participation and irregular expenditure without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because audit outcomes have become the dominant measure of municipal performance, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with grant management, audit action planning and municipal budgeting in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review grant management and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the Batho Pele principles
- Put audit action planning on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of municipal budgeting rather than escalating it
- Make a decision about records management without waiting for a specialist
