Finance Fundamentals is an online training program for Australian public sector executives and managers from non-financial backgrounds. Designed by our CFO Advisory team, it builds financial fluency from first principles through to practical application: analysing financial statements and reporting; navigating budget processes; monitoring budgets and forecasts; appraising business cases; managing working capital; and strengthening financial accountability and governance. Content is grounded, for illustrative purposes, in NSW public sector financial and performance management frameworks and regulation — including the Government Sector Finance Act 2018, NSW Performance and Wellbeing Framework (TPG26-02) and Budget Control Framework (TPG24-35).
