How do governments acquire and spend public money? Take a fresh look at public financial management with this free online course.

  • This free online course will provide you with the knowledge and tools to understand and evaluate the management of financial resources across the public sector, wherever you are. Drawing on the expertise of the Centre for Financial and Management Studies at SOAS, University of London, we’ll look at:
  • how governments and public sector organisations obtain financial resources through taxation, fees, charges, natural resources and other means;
  • how public sector organisations decide to use financial resources for attaining public policy goals and implementing public programmes;
  • how public sector organisations report their financial performance to the public;
  • how the use of public financial resources is audited;
  • and how governments are made accountable for their financial decisions.
