Hot topics: Operational Efficiency Programme and Budget 2009
On 21 April 2009, HM Treasury published the findings of its Operational Efficiency Review (OEP), which aimed to identify how additional financial savings could be made across the public sector.

This CIPFA briefing sets out some of main implications of both the OEP and Budget for public sector managers in CIPFA’s Performance Improvement (PIN) and Finance Advisory Networks (FAN).
