INTRODUCTION

Budgeting and Budgetary Control is a rational means of allocating and controlling scarce resources of an organization towards the attainment of set goals and objectives. One of any government’s foremost responsibilities is to be a careful steward of public funds. Putting policies in place that reflect best practices, outline roles and responsibilities, and define overall goals for how the governmental unit’s finances are handled is a good start to staying on good financial footing. Fiscal policies help create consistent processes in an environment where elected official turnover can cause shifts in direction and priorities over time.

This webinar on budgeting in the public sector focuses on budgeting planning, implementation and Control. It is designed to provide participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to efficiently plan and control the available scarce resources of their ministries, departments, and agencies to achieve their set goals and objectives.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic further complicates the situation in the accounting and financial reporting requirements and budgeting in the public sector. The COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented challenges for everybody and to all entities, from its effects on everyday lives, to its impacts on the world’s economies.

However, it should not be lost to the fact that after the world emerges on the other side of this devastating pandemic, one of the legacies of this extraordinary period will undoubtedly be the longer-term financial impacts of the interventions by governments around the world.

The unparalleled nature and scale of the fiscal measures being taken in response to COVID-19 reinforce the need for strong Public Financial Management (PFM) to maximize their immediate effectiveness. Strong public accountability for the resources used in fighting the pandemic, through high quality financial reporting, will also be essential to making their overall impact on public sector finances fully transparent.

It is against this backdrop of the prevailing situation that the Institute has organized a two-day Workshop to build the capacity of the preparers and reviewers of the public sector budgets.
