APS Foundations: Money and Resources

This eLearning module is designed to provide useful information for new starters on recognising responsibilities and accountabilities for managing public resources.

As a new member of the Australian Public Service you are going to be exposed to new and unfamiliar acronyms, jargon and terminology including terms that relate to Commonwealth finance.

Much of the terminology comes from the Commonwealth Resource Management Framework or CRM. As you will see in the course, the CRM is an important feature of an accountable and transparent public sector and informs the Australian people of the daily work of Commonwealth entities and their employees.

This learning experience has been provided by APS Academy in partnership with the Department of Finance.
