Modern governments require a deep understanding of how both the private and public sectors operate. Sound financial management requires financial reporting to be on a common platform to help with the allocation of resources in support of organisations’ strategic objectives. This applies to the management of the public sector but also applies to the regulation and supervision of the private sector and the overall management of the national economy.
This workshop demonstrates the need for efficient and effective financial management across governmental organisations: to clients, to their national executive and legislative bodies and to individual citizens and customers. We will consider the main requirements of IPSAS and, by demonstrating how they affect financial reports, will help you to apply IPSAS within your organisation. (Time will be given to improving skills in the technical aspects of IPSAS.)
