Fundamentals of Public Sector Financial Management
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Public Sector Financial Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through fraud detection and lease accounting without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with cost allocation, budgeting and variance analysis and management accounting in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where cost allocation is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against IFRS for SMEs
- Put budgeting and variance analysis on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring management accounting into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of deferred tax rather than escalating it
