Public Financial Management was born of a genuine demand from academics, practitioners and students of Public Finance. The book is an authoritative work on the subject of financial management, both at central and local government levels. The approach followed in this book is normative/descriptive, and the content is presented in a universally applicable and generic manner.
The book is divided into five parts, dealing with the following subjects:
- the fundamental principles of public finance;
- the organizational rules of public financial management;
- public revenue;
- public budgeting; and
- financial activities.
Experts in the field will find the work indispensable, whereas members of municipal councils and legislative authorities, officials and members of the public who take an interest in central and local government affairs, will find it most instructive. The author is a well-known academic who has become an expert on public financial management through many years of practical and teaching experience, enabling him to write authoritatively on this subject.
