M1998-26 Upgraded Qualifications for Certain NSW Public Service Positions in Accounting, Financial Management and Auditing

Description

Superseded by C99-69 which in turn is superseded by M2000-26

Detailed Outline

I would like to bring the attached Premier's Department Circular No. 98-71 to the attention of all Ministers and Chief Executive Officers.

This Circular introduces a new policy requiring senior financial managers to hold tertiary university qualifications as well as membership of either of the two recognised major professional accounting bodies - the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants or The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

In endorsing this requirement I would like to affirm the Government's commitment, as stated in 'Labor Governing: Reviving and Improving Public Administration in NSW', to a greater reliance on the expertise of well qualified professional public servants.

Bob Carr
Premier.
