This text is aimed at public sector managers without financial management training but who nevertheless have financial responsibilities. It is intended to be a guide to understanding how public sector finance works and the skills that are required to run departments and services. This book aims to set the current situation in its proper context, so that the manager is provided with an all-round understanding of the way in which local authority finance works. In addition, it explains those non-numerical aspects of financial management that are often ill-advisedly taken for granted and introduces certain numerical techniques used in local government that can assist with planning and decision making.

Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
