The importance of public financial management for the health and wellbeing of citizens became dramatically apparent as governments sought to respond to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Now, governments and other public sector organizations face the challenge of recovering from the pandemic whilst also seeking to achieve Sustainable Development Goals, with squeezed budgets and ever-increasing demands for public services.

This third edition has been revised and updated throughout, offering:

• a structure that is more clearly linked to the stages of the public financial management cycle

• greater coverage of transparency and accountability issues

• a broader view of public procurement to include goods, works and services and effective contract management; and

• an increased focus on public spending in the context of a post-COVID environment.
