Training and capacity building for municipalities
Training and capacity building to support the financial management capacity of municipalities.
The Department of Finance and Treasury Board promotes excellence in local government finance by supporting financial management capacity building in municipalities.
Government works with municipalities to provide research and policy-drafting support on issues related to financial management. Contact Municipal Finance for more information.
Reviewing and updating financial management policies
If you’re interested in reviewing and updating the financial management policies of your municipality, you can use the best practices resources. Municipal Finance’s best practices support good governance by promoting accountability, transparency, value for money and risk management.
Municipal Finance can work directly with your staff to adapt best practices into policies to suit your needs, including the research and writing involved in drafting policies and making presentations to council.
Conference Sponsorship
The Department of Finance and Treasury Board provides sponsorships for the annual conferences of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities and the Association of Municipal Administrators. This funding supports workshops and presentations for municipal finance officers.
