Report of the Independent Review Panel on Modernization of Comptrollership in the Government of Canada by Independent Review Panel on Modernization of Comptrollership in the Government of Canada,Jean-Pierre Boisclair Pdf

Reports a review of comptrollership at both the central agency level of the federal government and in operating departments, but not in Crown corporations or other arms- length agencies. Begins with an overview of the character, underlying assumptions, key stages of evolution, and the advances needed in the current state of federal government comptrollership. Three views of modern comptrollership are presented: as a way of thinking and state of mind, as a management-centred function, and as an integrating function. A new direction for comptrollership is then set out, including some key principles and the responsibilities and capacity of departments and the central government. A framework of responsibilities is proposed within which elected officials, executives, specialists, and professionals can achieve modern comptrollership in the federal government. Proposals are made to achieve previously stated objectives and certain results or outputs that can be expected from exercising those responsibilities are described, along with the implications for the system. The final chapter identifies critical success factors, actions, and measures by which to make and gauge progress in the modernization of federal government comptrollership.

How Ottawa Spends, 2009-2010 by Maslove Allan Pdf

This is the thirtieth volume in the series How Ottawa Spends. It is arguable that never in these years have Canadians faced such serious economic upheaval and political dysfunction as the current climate. The dramatic and seemingly sudden changes in the economy occurred simultaneously with a political drama - one that was largely disassociated from the real and pressing economic challenge. Early Harper budgets delivered lower taxes for all Canadians partly through highly targeted but politically noticeable small tax breaks on textbooks for students, tools for apprentices in skilled trades, and public transit costs. The needs of the beleaguered average Canadian and the "swing voter in the swing constituencies" of an already strategized "next" election were a key part of Conservative agenda-setting. In the 2007 budget alone there were twenty-nine separate tax reductions and federal spending was projected to increase by $10 billion, including a 5.7 percent increase in program spending. A small surplus of $3.3 billion was planned, almost all of which would go to debt reduction. As Harper savoured his 14 October 2008 re-election with a strengthened minority government, although without his desired majority, he and his minister of Finance already knew that his surpluses were likely gone in the face of the crashing financial sector and a looming recession. Future deficits were firmly back on the agenda. Contributors include Malcolm G. Bird (Carleton University), Chris Brown (Carleton University), G.

Politics of Public Money, Second Edition by David A. Good Pdf

Public money is one of the primary currencies of influence for politicians and public servants. It affects the standards by which they undertake the nation’s business and impacts the standard of living of the nation’s citizens. David A. Good’s The Politics of Public Money examines the extent to which the Canadian federal budgetary process is shifting from one based on a bilateral relationship between departmental spenders and central guardians to one based on a more complex, multilateral relationship involving a variety of players. This new edition offers an up-to-date account of the Canadian system, including the creation of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the government’s response to the global financial crisis, Canada’s Economic Action Plan, strategic and operating reviews, the most recent attempts to reform the Estimates, and much more. An insightful and incisive study of the changing budgetary process, The Politics of Public Money examines the promises and pitfalls of budgetary reform and sheds new light on the role insiders play in influencing government spending.

Canadian Public-Sector Financial Management by Andrew Graham Pdf

"It's not your money - it belongs to the people." Taking this simple axiom seriously creates unique challenges for the management of public funds. Andrew Graham outlines all aspects of public sector financial management, addressing how funds are obtained, what rules of accountability and accounting are applied, who controls public funds, what constitutes effective budget management at the operational level, and how accountability and oversight are dealt with. The skills demanded of public sector managers in financial management are becoming increasingly onerous and complex. Canadian Public Sector Financial Management will be of great help to practitioners in the public sector who wish to better understand their financial responsibilities as well as to students of public administration and the general reader concerned with public financial management issues. The secondedition of Canadian Public-Sector Financial Management updates the widely used text, reflecting on the developments in public financial management over the past six years. Developments in financial reporting and the widespread need for governments to constrain growth and manage their finances more closely are looked at. It remains focused on the practitioner and manager in the public sector.
