About
Pavitt Public Finance helps public sector finance teams get the basics properly done, in places where the starting point is low and the standards are real. Pay the staff. Record the assets. Reconcile the books. File the statements that survive audit. Prove the spend followed the rules. The unglamorous work that quietly keeps a government running.
That's the category we take seriously. Tools and content built around it. Not long PDFs, not expensive engagements, not a certificate at the end.
Adopting or applying IPSAS. Directors of Finance, deputy accountants-general, controllers in line ministries, project accountants in donor-funded units. Especially where the team is small, capacity is stretched, and external training is hard to access.
Proving that donor money was administered properly, in ministries, project units, and NGOs receiving grant funds. Internal auditors, retained fiscal agents, the one officer covering five rulebooks with a checklist. Especially where the field office has no compliance function at all and headquarters is far away.
Firms auditing governments without a public-sector technical desk of their own: the Desk frees you from serving as the technical desk for clients you then audit. And donor headquarters reviewing field-office work remotely, or advisers supporting counterparts on reform.
For embedded advisory, system design, capacity building, PEFA-style diagnostics, IFMIS work, public investment management, Gregg also takes engagements directly, as Team Leader or Key Expert, alongside the software business.
