Financial management
The role of the accountant in the public sector is far wider than the production of the annual financial statements. Financial management is usually a more important task. This may include:
- development of a Medium-term Expenditure Framework
- annual budget planning development, monitoring and reporting
- reviewing, maintaining and enhancing internal financial control
- efficient procurement of goods and services
- cash-flow planning and treasury management
- planning, developing, managing and auditing financial management information systems (computerised financial systems)
- activity based costing.
This section includes some guidance on these and other topics which are available on the Web.
