Description

PFMA failures rarely come from not knowing the law. They come from misunderstanding responsibility, process, and accountability. This session explains the PFMA and Treasury Regulations from a practical risk perspective. Focus is placed on how responsibility flows, where breakdowns occur, and why the same findings appear repeatedly. Understanding this framework changes how public sector work is approached, reviewed, and defended. It strengthens judgement in a high scrutiny environment and reduces professional exposure when decisions are questioned.
