BEST PRACTICE PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

CPA Australia has partnered with the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) in the UK to provide public sector organisations in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the South Pacific with an internationally recognised framework and a measurement tool.

Best Practice Financial Management

We measure the financial maturity of your organisation at three levels:

1. Enabling transformation: The finance team operates as business partners and has input into strategic and operational plans, with a focus on proactive risk management, clear strategic directions and focus-based outcomes.

2. Supporting performance: The finance team is committed to continuous improvement and focuses on efficient and effective delivery and organisational performance.

3. Delivering accountability: Financial information is accurate, timely and focuses on controls, probity, compliance and accountability.

A Regular financial management health check

Use the CIPFA online diagnostic tool every two years to measure your organisation’s strengths and development areas across the whole organisation, including processes, people, leadership and stakeholders. Develop and implement a target-driven improvement plan and monitor progress closely. Complete the self-assessment regularly to ensure your financial management system is world class.

See how AFSA uses the CIPFA FM Model.

ACCOUNTABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND TRANSFORMATION

The CIPFA FM Model takes an integrated view of public financial management, providing leaders, managers and stakeholders with the measures to promote wise spending, tackle corruption and contribute to the economic growth of the country. It is through the efficient and effective use of public money that public financial management drives performance.

“GOOD FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RELIES ON A COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCE STAFF, BUDGET HOLDERS AND STAKEHOLDERS”
