Implementing Financial Management and Control
In light of the recent developments linked to the Covid-19 outbreak, we have taken the decision to deliver this learning initiative online. In addition, we have re-adjusted the course content initially prepared for face-to-face discussion. The online course will provide the opportunity to explore and rethink financial management and control (FMC) in the context of your own country and the recent Covid-19 outbreak.
ABOUT THIS LEARNING EVENT
We will discuss that the concepts of managerial accountability and value for money, introduced as a part of PIC/FMC improvements, will become even more important once countries start facing the consequences of Covid-19. With bigger demand for scarce public funds, public sector managers will face harder challenges to deliver the objectives of the organization, to time, to standard and within budget. We will highlight the notion that FMC is a management reform rather than simply a technical financial and control reform and delineate roles and responsibilities between ministries of finance and line ministries.
Through Dutch example you will learn how the public internal control (PIC) system has evolved in the Netherlands to support broader reforms, where are the FMC/PIC rules laid out and who sets them, and finally how Covid-19 outbreak shapes policies and procedures in the Netherlands.
Through webinars, video lectures, assignment, and other activities, this learning initiative will cover a range of topics, including:
- FMC in the broader reform picture
- FMC reform implementation
- How does FMC work in the Netherlands?
- FMC in the Netherlands in relation to Covid-19
- Carrying on FMC improvements, self-assessment tools and available assessment instruments
Who should attend
The online course has been primarily designed for public finance officials from central harmonization units, those working in the area of FMC, and internal auditors.
