The various tiers of government have distinct differences in their makeup, and operations. The PFMA and MFMA place strict requirements on the Accounting Officer and Accounting Authority to put in place efficient and effective supply chain management systems to manage the delivery of their projects. Each organ of state has a different mandate and different set of challenges to face when putting in place these systems. Dr Sean Phillips has wide experience in this field, and his role in various organs of state from provincial and national departments through to government-wide support agencies, and the highest strategic levels within the Presidency, to agencies at local authority level. Sean will provide some insights from his experience in these different sectors, on what the challenges are relating to how to effectively implement systems that deliver the right infrastructure to the right communities within the governance constraints of the public sector. Join us for a unique insight into how government departments work! |
