Facing Financial Challenges: Planning for Unchartered Territory

We held a free webinar on Facing Financial Challenges: Planning for unchartered territory.

About this event

The Welsh public landscape is changing, fact! Public services are facing significant financial challenges and must ensure standards of services are maintained.

So, what does this mean for managing the deficit reduction plan and delivering key services in the public sector? The need to balance budgets, facilitate innovation and change is paramount, and the journey is about to get harder.

This webinar provided delegates with practical, strategic and operational approaches and good practice adopted within public services across the UK.

The panel included:

  • Anthony Barrett, Assistant Auditor General, Wales Audit Office
  • Guy Clifton, Head of Local Government Advisory, Grant Thornton
  • Mark Owen, Head of Finance, Wrexham County Borough Council/ Chair of Society of Welsh Treasurers
  • Councillor Ben Curran, Sheffield Council

This webinar focused on identifying how the strategic and operational management of public services can be streamlined to manage the planned deficit reduction plan whilst delivering quality key services. Here you can listen to these discussions from the webinar [Opens in new window].
