Associate Professor Joanne Kelly specializes in examining the techniques, politics and practice of public budgeting from a comparative perspective.
She has worked in both government and academia, including four years as academic advisor and research fellow at the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada. Assoc. Prof. Kelly has collaborated with practitioners and academics in Australia, Britain, the US, and she has worked with the Privy Council Office in Canada, Her Majesty's Treasury in the UK, the General Accounting Office in Washington DC, the International Association of Supreme Auditor Offices, and the Financial Management Institute of Canada. In 2002 the OECD asked her to co-direct a study that examined reallocation in twelve member-countries. This report formed the basis of extensive discussions in the OECD working groups of Senior Budget Officials, and the Committee for Chairs of Parliamentary Committees.
Assoc. Prof Kelly has authored reports, articles and book chapters on this topic, co-authored the book Managing Public Expenditures in Australia, and is current working on a second co-authored book entitled The Art of Budgetary Control.
