Accounting for a better world

Title: Innovation in Public Sector Finance

There is no denying that there are considerable challenges facing the public sector. Budget reductions and talent shortages can be attributed to part of what is driving reactive innovation. However, citizens’ expectations, falling public trust and technological disruption continue to alter the environment where governments are struggling to offer quality public services.

Join Alex Metcalfe, Head of Public Sector at ACCA, for a session examining what innovation means and its prevalence in public sector finance. Drawing on ACCA’s report on this topic, Alex will discuss how finance professionals are well-placed to help drive innovation. Global and local case studies will highlight this innovation and the public sector finance professionals’ critical role.

Session Learning Objectives: By attending this session, attendees will understand:

1. What innovation means in the public sector context, the current state, and the forces driving finance innovation within the sector.
