Volume 1: Introduction
The Financial Accountability Handbook is designed to assist agencies in developing a framework for the financial management of their agency. This volume provides background information to, and a discussion on, the Financial Accountability Act and its subordinate legislation. It also provides guidance on the various entity types in Queensland.
The Handbook represents guidance only, and it is expected that departments and statutory bodies should adopt processes which reflect each individual agency’s circumstances and operational characteristics. Information Sheets will be released progressively as they are completed.
All interested parties are invited to review the draft information sheets and provide comment by their due dates to fmbregistrations@treasury.qld.gov.au. All comments and feedback are valued and appreciated.
Other volumes of the handbook are available on the Financial Accountability Handbook page.
