Managers working in the public sector are confronted daily with targets and demands that are often set in confusing accounting and financial jargon. This book will help students of public management and administration to understand the financial and accounting aspects of creating public value. In Financial Management and Accounting in the Public Sector, Gary Bandy employs a jargon-free narrative to introduce the core concepts of accounting and financial management in the public sector. The book is structured around ten rules that encapsulate the essential behaviours that public sector managers should adhere to for managing the financial resources they have effectively. Relevant theory is woven into the chapters and illustrated with real-life examples and case studies so that the overall effect is a a ~hands-ona (TM) textbook. A glossary of terms to help managers understand and be understood by accountants is also provided.
