Municipal Finance for Managers
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 service delivery planning 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 irregular expenditure, consequence management and intergovernmental relations in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve irregular expenditure within their own organisation, measured against the MFMA
- Put consequence management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of intergovernmental relations rather than escalating it
- Review public finance management and say plainly whether it is working
