Consultation: Public Financial Management

Over recent years there has been a growing consensus about the importance of public financial management for both developed and developing economies.

Sound public financial management helps ensure that public services are delivered successfully and financial aid is used to best effect. And that in turns creates social and economic prosperity and builds confidence in aid donors.

To help improve public financial management around the world, CIPFA has developed a ‘whole system approach’, and we would value your views on it.

As pressures on national budgets increase and additional demands are made by the global downturn, there is a real need to better understand public financial management and the levers by which it can be developed. This consultation exercise aims to do just that.
