Financial management

Delivering world class standards of financial management in Government requires the cost effective translation of resources into desired outcomes. This means having the right decision making structures in place, and the financial information and skills capacities to operate them.

In seeking to deliver world class standards of financial management, the Treasury aims to:

  • Promote improvements in the effectiveness of financial management and finance professionalism in Government.
  • Implement reporting frameworks that build on best practice and deliver efficient and effective integrated reporting mechanisms for government financial data.
  • Promote excellent accountability in the use of public funds through setting standards of governance, risk management and internal control.
