SUMMARY:Infrastructure Guidelines: Managing Capital Budgets
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Overview\nWhat are the Infrastructure Guidelines? \nThe new Infrastructure Guidelines came into operation on 1 January 2024. They replace the previous Public Spending Code. The updating has been made to ensure that the arrangements for allocating\, managing and reporting on the use of public funds\, is as up to date as possible. There is a continuing focus on ensuring transparency\, efficiency\, and accountability in government expenditure. In short\, getting ‘value-for-money’. \nWhat relevance have the Infrastructure Guidelines on Public Sector bodies? \nIn Ireland\, all Public Bodies are required to comply with the requirements of the Investment Guidelines https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/e8040-infrastructure-guidelines/ \nThe Infrastructure Guidelines embrace a range of evaluation tools\, from Cost Benefit Analysis to Value for Money Reviews. These tools have a critical role to play if Public Bodies are to fully discharge their responsibilities of ensuring that the best possible value-for-money is obtained whenever public money is being spent or invested. \nThe Department of Public Expenditure\, NDP Delivery and Reform regularly updates its guidelines to ensure that they continue to reflect current best practice in project appraisal and evaluation. \nPAI Webinar: What learning solutions does PAI webinar offer? \nThis half-day online seminar will cover the main evaluation tools embraced by the Infrastructure Guidelines.
