The Value in public finance peer learning group provides a platform for those in government, academia, private and other sectors to discuss and explore ways to improve value creation of public expenditure. This peer learning group aims to create a community of individuals and organisations interested in improving public finance and how economies perform. We are an inclusive group of thinkers and practitioners and would welcome international engagement on the above themes as well as any others.
The group meets every 2 months for an hour-long discussion and is co-organised by the GO Lab and Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). Jeffrey Matsu and Dr Elaine De Gruyter co-lead the sessions.
Value for money (VfM) assessment is a critical process organisations undertake to determine whether the benefits of a project justify its costs. While the objective is clear, in practice there are a myriad of approaches due to differences in context, data, resources, and other factors.
This session will feature the following presentations on innovative approaches and recent case studies before opening up to a Q&A and wider group discussion:
Jeffrey Matsu – Chief Economist, Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, and Fellow of Practice, GO Lab, University of Oxford
Dr Elaine De Gruyter – Postdoctoral Research Associate, GO Lab, University of Oxford
Matt Donoghue – Director, Early Intervention and Reform, Department of Treasury and Finance (Victoria, Australia)
