  • 69: CIPFA Speaks: Beyond Bots: AI’s role in a better public sector
    As artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies rapidly advance, what does this mean for public services—and how can public finance professionals ensure new technologies truly benefit society? In this month’s episode of CIPFA Speaks, we tackle the transformative potential of AI alongside the ethical and social challenges it poses.  Lord Holmes of Richmond MBE, Paralympic gold medal swimmer and passionate advocate for tech-driven public good, and David Lyford-Tilley, CIPFA's Head of Standards and Technical, join us to explore how AI can drive efficiency, inclusivity, and innovation in public service. They’ll also share insights on the practical considerations for finance professionals: balancing new tech adoption with transparency and accountability.  Tune in to learn how public finance professionals can be at the forefront of responsible AI use in public services, ensuring it benefits all.  #CIPFASpeaks #AIFuture #PublicFinance

  • 68: CIPFA Speaks: Building Corruption-Free Public Services Worldwide
    Whether it’s threats to democracy or the rise of populism, public trust in governments, the public sector, and public officials is more important than ever. One of the key threats to that trust is corruption. But how can public sector organisations spot and manage corruption risks before they take root? In this month’s episode of CIPFA Speaks, we dive into the vital role of Corruption Risk Management (CRM) in safeguarding public services globally. Join Daniela Sota Valdivia from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Khalid Hamid, CIPFA’s Director of International, as they explore the power of leadership in driving lasting change, the importance of a prevention-first approach, and lessons from CIPFA’s Corruption Prevention Programme, including its second pilot in Mauritius.  Tune in to gain expert insights on building corruption-free public services and learn how finance professionals can help protect public trust.

  • 67: CIPFA Speaks: How can we manage demand in adult and children’s social care?
    Why are 75% of local authority budgets consumed by social care? What steps can the government take to rein in escalating costs and meet growing demand? And how can public finance professionals ease pressures on local authorities?  In this month’s episode, we tackle the urgent need for change in adult and children’s social care—a system that places unsustainable strain on local governments and the wellbeing of its communities alike.  Join Dr. William Burns, CIPFA's Social Care Policy Advisor, Bernie Enright, Executive Director of Adult Social Services at Manchester City Council, and John Pearce, Corporate Director of Children and Young People’s Services at Durham County Council, as they unpack the challenges and actionable strategies for managing demand.  Tune in for expert insights and practical solutions to one of the public sector’s most pressing issues.

  • 66: CIPFA Speaks: why sustainable improvements are essential for public sector survival
    Why do different areas of the UK approach climate change differently? How can the UK government and local authorities grow in a sustainable manner? And what can be done to ensure sustainability is at the heart of decision-making?  With a new government and new growth plan emerging at a time when the world undergoes rapid structural change from climate, technology, and demographic forces, the public sector must make tough decisions to advance its sustainability agenda. That’s why, in this month’s episode, CIPFA’s Sustainability Policy Manager, Amit Verma, and Professor Matthew Agarwala, Bennett Chair of Sustainable Finance at the University of Sussex, come together to explore how and why the public sector should strive for sustainable improvements.    Tune in to learn more about multifaceted challenges and possible solutions to achieve prosperity for all.
