Submission on the Productivity Commission’s draft report into local government funding and financing

We strongly endorse the Commission’s recommendations in the draft report to help build governance and financial capability.

We support the Commission highlighting that the IoD has a ranges of resources and services that can assist elected members and we welcome the opportunity to help improve governance and financial capability in local government.

We encourage elected members’ ongoing professional development including membership of the IoD.

There is also an opportunity when appointing new members of audit and risk committees to include IoD Chartered Members.
