Budget Analysis Training
Budget is an inherent part of the financial planning process both in the public sector as well as the private sector. In the public sector, the budget affects almost every citizen and forms the basis of a government’s fiscal policy. It is also a crucial document to plan for future development expenditure. Given the size of public sector expenditure, all appointed budget analysts must have the right skills to deal with forthcoming challenges.
Budget analysts at all levels of the government are responsible for determining how to distribute resources effectively among various departments and development programmes. Budget analysts also help measure performance, analyse financial results and help draft budget-related legislation.
Organisations hire a budget analyst to keep a check on all finances, making sure expenditures are on track. Their scope of work involves helping organizations keep a close eye on current finances and plan future budget decisions ahead of time.
Development of Indicators for Effective Governance
Public sector institutions, as well as private businesses and non-governmental organizations, are often judged on the basis of their performance on key areas of performance. These may include effectiveness, efficiency, equity, corruption and rule of law, among many others. It is critical, therefore, to develop appropriate indicators in all these areas of performance. The workshop will review some of the performance measurement practices of international organizations and governments. Good performance measurement constitutes oversight on government activities, and ensures its accountability to the public; thus, ensuring good governance.

Board of directors training programs help build the skills for driving positive board culture – especially if undertaken as a team. Board of directors training will shed light on board-specific strategies to mitigate risk and maximize opportunities. A good board training program should develop broad-spectrum insights into corporate governance best practices – and how these can improve coherence in business direction and strategy, drive corporate responsibility, and improve organizational accountability for stakeholder confidence.
