Cost: FREE (a lockdown BONUS!)

The goal of this session is to understand and demonstrate how public sector organizations are adopting accrual budgeting as an effective mechanism for long-term capital funding. Federally, the Department of Finance is encouraging capital asset intensive departments to adopt accrual budgeting as a mechanism to ensure long-term capital funding in support of better capital asset stewardship in the public sector. Implementation of accrual budgeting is complex, impacts enterprise processes and systems and involves resources from across the department.

Together we will run through how accrual budgeting enables enhanced planning of capital asset requirements to support the investment and life-cycle management of asset portfolios. To facilitate the discussion we will present an accrual budgeting approach that was developed to support work with several federal public sector departments but will be relevant to any public sector organization looking to move to accrual budgeting. We will speak to some lessons learned and the critical ‘get rights’ including processes for first years of adoption and tools that can support ongoing asset management.

The session will be an excellent starting point for anyone who is interested in seeing what operating under accrual budgeting looks like in the public sector and understanding its benefits.

This online learning session (via Zoom) will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (Atlantic).

There is no cost for this session and entitles registrants to a complimentary annual membership with FMI National. This session qualifies for 1 verifiable CPD credit.

Deadline for registration is May 31, 2021.
Zoom link details will be emailed to registrants on Thursday, May 27, and Tuesday, June 1.

We look forward to “seeing you” on June 3rd!
