Fundamentals of Public Sector Financial Management

Finance and Accounting|2 days|Classroom or live online

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
