About this event

The Introduction to Local Government Finance e-learning is ideal for anyone already working in a finance role but new to local government, or anyone working in the sector with budget or leadership responsibilities who needs to develop their understanding about structures and funding.

It is delivered online. Detailed joining instructions will be sent to you. It will take around four hours to complete and you will have access to the learning materials for three months.

• the range of council models in operation and their statutory service requirements
• the governance roles of both officers and politicians
• the funding mechanisms that apply to local authorities
• how councils are meeting funding challenges by looking towards innovative income generation options
• the future challenge and opportunity facing the public sector
