For team leaders and managers who have accountability for organisational decision-making, or for managing budgets, understanding government finance is a critical skill.
Every public servant has a responsibility to make sound financial decisions for their organisation and to use public resources – funds – appropriately. All decisions have a financial impact, from hiring staff to buying equipment. For team leaders and managers who have accountability for organisational decision-making, or for managing budgets, understanding government finance is a critical skill.
Finance and accounting teams are expected to have in-depth understanding of accounting policies and procedures. Non-finance managers and leaders are spared some of this responsibility but are still expected to know how to read and interpret the financial information provided by those teams and make sound financial decisions based on this data.
