Abstract: The complexity of managing European Union (EU) spending programmes is the subject of much comment but relatively little academic analysis. Using a multi-disciplinary analytical framework drawn from the management, policy and social sciences, this fieldwork-based case study examines the reform of financial management within the European Commission. In constructing an agent focussed narrative of a specific reform episode, it contributes to a growing literature on public management reform analysed from this perspective and also to the lightly developed field of EU financial management
