Managing financial resources to deliver better public services (20th February 2008)
Since 2003, government departments have improved the management of their finances. But stronger financial management is now more important than ever to ensure that every pound of public money is spent to best effect in an increasingly challenging financial environment. Central government manages more financial resources than ever before, and these are expected to grow to £678 billion a year by 2010-11 – some £11,000 for every person in the UK. But, many departments have tighter settlements under the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review than they had under previous spending rounds. Today’s report, a follow-up to the NAO’s 2003 report, looks at how capable departments are at managing their financial resources.
