Chapter 1: June Pallot: Researcher and Commentator on Public Sector Financial Management Reforms

When Professor June Pallot died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 51, she left behind her a wealth of research on public sector financial management reforms, New Zealand’s public sector financial management reforms in particular. June’s work has been hailed as providing a voice of reason and serious research from a country that forged ahead with its public sector reforms, often without much careful analysis beforehand. This book contains a selection of June’s published research that she regarded as her most significant work and a full schedule of June’s publications, with the titles of all those she regarded as her most significant highlighted.
