Governance Processes for Public Services - A Compendium of Case Studies (Paperback)

This work demonstrates the inextricable overlap between corporate management and corporate governance, with individuals often playing parts in both processes at the same time. It draws from a wide variety of real life case studies: a unitary local authority, a health trust, a university, two schools and a customer service committee of the water industry regulator OFWAT.;One of the study's principal findings is that the majority of board members need more awareness - and hence training - in the purpose and practise of financial reporting and management accounting.
