Une directive en cours de transposition dans le Code de la démocratie locale et de la décentralisation (CDLD) et la loi organique des CPAS, prévoit désormais un cadre budgétaire pluriannuel pour les pouvoirs publics. Le présent ouvrage entend fournir tous les outils nécessaires pour atteindre cet ambitieux objectif. Il s'adresse à toute personne susceptible de travailler dans le cadre d'une programmation budgétaire pluriannuelle et vise donc autant les communes et provinces que leurs entités consolidées. Il se révèlera utile auprès des services, mais également des grades légaux et membres du comité de direction (CODIR), chargés de l'audit et du contrôle interne des opérations comptables et budgétaires au sein des pouvoirs locaux et enfin des mandataires, qui doivent pouvoir comprendre les techniques utilisées en matière de projections budgétaires, afin de prendre les bonnes décisions sans mettre à mal leurs finances.

This volume provides a unique insight into the ways local governments have maintained financial resilience in the face of the significant challenges posed by the era of austerity. Taking an international perspective, it provides an enlightening and practical analysis of the different capacities and responses that local governments deploy to cope with financial shocks. Moving beyond traditional approaches dealing with financial stress, the financial resilience perspective reveals a wider range of organisational responses and enables consideration of the dynamic role played by internal and external contextual factors. The international case study approach allows for a comparative analysis of financial resilience in the context of different administrative and policy environments. By providing a unifying view of financial resilience, the importance of building resilience into organisational financial management is demonstrated, uncovering the relative effectiveness of different resilience building approaches. This edited volume is a valuable source for practitioners and academics, as well as students of public policy, public management and financial management.

"How to leverage existing resources to meet the current and future needs of cities Crumbling streets and bridges. Poorly performing schools and inadequate social services. These are common complaints in cities, which too often struggle just to keep the lights on, much less make the long-term investments necessary for future generations. It doesn't have to be this way. This book by two internationally recognized experts in public finance describes a new way of restoring economic vitality and financial stability to cities, using steps that already have been proven remarkably successful. The key is unlocking social, human, and economic wealth that cities already own but is out of sight--or "hidden." A focus on existing public wealth helps to shift attention and resources from short-term spending to longer-term investments that can vastly raise the quality of life for many generations of urban residents. A crucial first step is to understand a city's balance sheet--too few cities comprehend how valuable a working tool this can be. With this in hand, taxpayers, politicians, and investors can better recognize the long-term consequences of political decisions and make choices that mobilize real returns rather than rely on more taxes, debt, or austerity. Another hidden asset is real estate. Even poor cities own large swathes of poorly utilized land, or they control underperforming utilities and other commercial assets. Most cities could more than double their investments with smarter use of these commercial assets. Managing the city's assets smartly through the authors' proposed Urban Wealth Funds--at arm's-length from short-term political influence--will enable cities to ramp up much needed infrastructure investments." -- Publisher
