Local Government: Integrated Planning and Governance Risk and Compliance Solutions

State Governments are increasing their oversight of the performance of Local Governments nationally. There is increased focus on integrated planning and reporting and how Local Government is managing risk and compliance. With financial challenges faced by all Local Governments how can technology help?

Our online event on Friday 9th August @ 1pm AEST, we showcased solutions helping Local Governments across Australia effectively manage and monitor delivery of their strategic and corporate plans, and governance, risk and compliance requirements.
