Professional Conduct

Public Money & Management:

Public Money & Management is owned and managed by CIPFA and published on behalf of CIPFA. CIPFA members can subscribe to the journal at a very reduced rate.

Public Money & Management has a multidisciplinary audience. It publishes articles which contribute new knowledge as a basis for policy or management improvements, or which reflect on evidence from public service management and finance in order to suggest topics for research. Readers include officials in all types of public service organizations; academics; consultants and advisers working with the public services; voluntary (third) sector organizations delivering public services; politicians; journalists; and students on both academic and professional courses.

Public Money & Management is published bimonthly (six issues per annum).

Articles for consideration by the editors should be sent to the Managing Editor: michaela.lavender@cipfa.org.uk

UKPAC prize 2009

This year's UKPAC prize competition invited the submission of six articles, published in 2008 (three apiece from the two journals closely associated with members of the UK Public Administration Consortium: Public Money & Management and Public Policy and Administration). The winning paper was the one that offered the greatest contribution to taking forward the concepts or practice of public administration and its authors needed to be connected with a UK university. The judges were unanimous in their choice of the winning entry, which we are delighted to announce is:

Nathan Proudlove, Claire Moxham and Ruth Boaden's Lessons for Lean in Healthcare From Using Six Sigma in the NHS which Public Money & Management published in Vol. 28, No. 1, February 2008, pp. 27-34.

The judges felt that this article stood out both for its clarity and its rigour in explaining and analysing a complex subject and doing so in a way that would be both interesting to academics and directly relevant to practitioners.
