Capita announce details of their National Transparency in the Public Sector Conference

Nov. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Driving forward greater public sector transparency is a key priority for the Government over the coming year. Capita’s National Transparency in the Public Sector Conference, taking place in London on 30th January 2012, provides the ideal opportunity for you examine how to take forward the agenda in your organisation. Improved transparency, with the right processes in place can lead to increased value for money, more efficient commissioning and greater public engagement in how services are designed and delivered. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from our experts about how this can be achieved in practice.

With the closure of the Audit Commission approaching, the Government has promised to release more open data than ever before. As part of this pledge, transparency is increasingly being put at the core of all government business, placing the power of audit in the hands of the public, private and third sector providers. This crucially timed event allows you to explore what impact this will have on the way that you work and interact with partners. Essential issues being addressed include:

• A new approach to managing and using data
• Engaging communities in scrutiny of public services
• Ensuring best use of resources through more transparent processes

Powers of scrutiny are being devolved to a more local level through the Localism Bill, the Health and Social Care Bill and the Police and Social Responsibility Bill. With input from local government, health and social care and housing sectors, take the opportunity to discuss with strategic leaders and local providers how best to meet your freedom of information obligations, implement a new approach to audit and ensure robust systems of accountability and responsibility are in place in your organisation.
