Introducing Public Finance Management (PFM)
Transforming and leveraging fiscal service events
About Public Finance
Public finance management, or PFM, is how governments manage public expenses and revenues. It is a crucial means of ensuring the effective allocation and utilisation of public resources. The objective of a robust PFM system is to enhance fiscal transparency, resulting in improved accountability and effective resource allocation. Such a system strengthens the government's ability to deliver essential public services and maintain economic stability, leading to long-term benefits in public welfare and economic growth outcomes.

The solution enables connected applications to exchange standardised fiscal events e.g. Demand, Receipts, Bills, and Payments. The fiscal event consists of attributes explaining the details of why, who, what, where and when it happened.
