Centre of Excellence on Performance Management and Accountability (CEPMA)
Accountability in public administration and management are paramount for politicians and practitioners. Citizens want their public institutions to be effective and well-managed, and to have public services that work and are available to them. Media will continue to report on the flaws of accountability systems, failures and disappointments, and the juxtaposition of innovation and creativity within these transparent systems.
The Institute of Public Administration of Canada has established the Centre of Excellence on Performance Management and Accountability (CEPMA) to promote and improve research and understanding of these issues and to provide this support to its members.
