This report seeks to encourage dialogue and more open conversation about the financial management capabilities of governments in Europe and beyond. It captures the insights of a select group of senior finance professionals from 10 different EU member states, large and small, older and newer, and describes their day-to-day concerns. The report highlights practical issues relating to public finance structures, processes and people. By and large these are shard across countries. Given that governments need to think harder and more creatively about how they resource and run their finance ministries and other functions, the report also includes the ICAEW's reflections on potential areas of improvement in public finance.
