Vision

OPTIMISE YOUR SYSTEMS, PROCESSES, RESOURCES, COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING

An internationally recognised framework and diagnostic tool, the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) Public Sector Financial Management Model allows you to benchmark your financial management systems and processes against world class best practice for public sector finance.

• Profile your organisation’s strengths and development areas
• Support your organisation’s growth objectives
• Proactively manage risk

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.

ACCOUNTABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND TRANSFORMATION

The Public Sector 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.
