Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé comparisons of local authority financial and organisational resilience.

This group of projects investigates the financial and organisational resilience in local government through a number of national and international comparisons and case studies. The international work is facilitated by membership of the Accounting and Finance Special Interest Group of the Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé Research Society for Public Management. The projects have been supported by CIMA, the ACCA and by Cipfa. The work of this team overlaps with the work of the Accounting and Finance Research Group in the Business School and some colleagues are members of both groups.

Public assurance, financial sustainability and performance management regimes for public services.

Between 2001 and 2010, a centralized system of performance management and strategic intervention for local government was developed in England which has been replaced by a self-regulated peer review system from 2010. Following the publication of a number of articles and reports in 2015 the team were approached to help with a pre-general election briefing for the National Audit Office. This resulted in a report on the public assurance and value for money risks across the services provided by local authorities, the police, health, social care and fire and rescue services. In turn this has led to a series of contributions to a number of national studies including those on Fire and Rescue Services; Ambulance Services; the Single Departmental Spending Plan system and HMT Spending Reviews. An impact case study based on accountability transparency and public assurance has developed around this work and the some of the projects in workstream 1.
