Managing Municipal Finance
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers grant management and irregular expenditure from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with service delivery planning, council procedure and audit action planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring service delivery planning into line with current good practice, measured against the Municipal Systems Act
- Put council procedure on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Explain audit action planning to someone who does not do the work
- Improve public participation within their own organisation
