Public Accountability and Governance

CEF's Public Accountability and Governance training is tailored to four distinct groups:

  • Accounting Officers
  • Senior Managers
  • Board Members
  • Audit & Risk Committee members

Half day sessions are scheduled for each group 2 - 3 times per year.  These highly interactive sessions include attendance and input from a representative of the Northern Ireland Audit Office.  Delegates receive an overview of the governance framework within which all NI public bodies operate, and will also receive briefing on the latest thinking within Government and analysis and reflection on the most recent case studies. 

The Accounting Officer session includes input from the Comptroller & Auditor General, Kieran Donnelly, and the Department of Finance's Treasury Officer of Accounts.  Delegates have the opportunity to exchange views with both representatives.

The CEF also offers bespoke PA&G training for individual organisations or sectors, on request.  Such training will be tailored to the particular needs of the organisation / sector, with consultation with the trainer on the content of the session in advance. For further details on bespoke training, please contact: mail@ceforum.org.

Please refer to the events section of our website for upcoming dates and to register.
