Program
Worsening economic conditions and economic pressure have led governments to long-term financial planning as a tool for determining the magnitude of fiscal challenges and devising strategies to provide a sustainable level of public services. Participants will be exposed to practical analytical methods for communicating the importance of financial planning with elected officials, the public, and staff; conducting expenditure and revenue forecasting; developing a long-term financial plan; and implementing and monitoring the plan for success.
Seminar Objectives
Through presentations, discussions, case studies, practical exercises, and sample documents, participants will gain an understanding of:
- How to design a planning process that fits the particular needs of their government
- How to involve participants from outside the finance function in order to develop a plan with a broad base of support
- How to use various tools and techniques for high-quality financial forecasting and analysis
- How to execute a financial plan and achieve results
