Financial Management and Accounting in the Public Sector

July 12, 2010/ Gary Bandy

There are many reasons behind my writing of this blog but I guess the main one is to support my book. Routledge will be publishing Financial Management and Accounting in the Public Sector in April 2011. I'm really excited about that, especially as it will be published in the USA and Canada as well as in the UK. This blog will help me in a couple of ways:

as an outlet for some of the material that I have amassed from my research;
as a resource for my students
as a resource for any other people studying public sector management, particularly if they are not accountants and don't want to be accountants; and
if I'm lucky, it will draw some attention to my book when it reaches the shelves of real and on-line book stores.
