DESCRIPTION
The public sector is highly regulated. As opposed to the private sector, the laws and regulations that govern the financial management of public funds require that actions are only taken by local government if they are compliant with prescripts.Â
Governments have a responsibility to provide services to the citizens of a country, to protect and grow the country’s resources and to ensure the creation and maintenance of generational capital for future generations. Service delivery is a complex, multi-faceted concept that is dependant on many variables, some within the control of the country, and some that emanate from global issues.Â
Proper management of public funds requires robust accounting processes and systems that can keep track of how these funds are moving in and out of public entities. This webinar addresses
