High standards of financial management are central to all other reforms in the public sector. Participants and their organisations will benefit from increased knowledge of modern, public financial management practices and the high standards expected of the public sector. With this knowledge, participants will be able to review the resource allocation mechanisms and budgetary and financial controls within their organisations and ensure that resources are better planned and controlled and are consistent with organisational priorities.
Prospective donors attach growing importance to effective financial management systems. One aim of this programme is to help countries pass these tests by increasing and deepening knowledge of good financial management practices throughout their public sector community. It is designed for policy makers, financial practitioners and line managers with financial and resource management responsibilities.
