Live Online Public Finance Management Training

Every shilling in a public budget is subject to law, oversight and public scrutiny, and weak financial management quickly shows up in audit queries, stalled projects and pending bills. The week begins with the public budget cycle and the PFM legal framework, setting out the roles of treasuries, accounting officers and legislatures. You then prepare budgets that meet statutory requirements, linking allocations to plans, programmes and performance targets. Expenditure management sessions cover commitment control, cash planning, tracking budget variances and taking corrective action before overspending occurs.

Revenue management and financial reporting follow, including own-source revenue, IPSAS-based statements and timely reporting to oversight bodies. The final day prepares you for audit, focusing on accountability, documentation and the compliance risks that commonly lead to adverse findings. Fiscal responsibility principles run throughout, guiding fair and sustainable resource allocation. Accountants, budget officers, finance managers, internal auditors and accounting officers in national and county government and state corporations will find it directly relevant. You leave able to manage a budget from preparation to audit with fewer surprises.
