Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Governments and public bodies manage large resources on behalf of citizens and must show that money is spent legally, efficiently and on results that matter. Traditional line-item budgets focus on inputs, making it hard to see what public spending actually achieves.
This Public Financial Management and Programme Budgeting training course provides a comprehensive view of the public financial management cycle, from fiscal planning and budget preparation through execution, accounting, reporting and audit. Participants learn how programme and performance-based budgeting links allocations to objectives, outputs and outcomes.
The course also covers medium-term expenditure frameworks, cash and commitment control, public investment management, fiscal risk, transparency and the reform strategies used to strengthen public financial systems in a sustainable way.
