Practical Intergovernmental Relations
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through public finance management and records management on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with ethics in the public service, annual reporting and consequence management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve ethics in the public service within their own organisation, measured against the PFMA
- Take ownership of annual reporting rather than escalating it
- Bring consequence management into line with current good practice
- Make a decision about grant management without waiting for a specialist
