OVERVIEW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This course will help our clients to assist not only in meeting the challenges of introducing IPSAS but also to secure the benefits of improved financial management to help secure the organisational objectives and goals of each public service organisation. We have developed this course starting with an introduction and then implementation of IPSAS.  This course will help our clients to assist not only in meeting the challenges of introducing IPSAS but also to secure the benefits of improved financial management to help secure the organisational objectives and goals of each public service organisation. This enables multi-national organisations to make comparisons between projects wherever in the world they happen, irrespective of jurisdiction, culture, language and ethnicity. IPSAS is becoming and will become the World standard for Public Sector entities. We have developed this course starting with an introduction and then implementation of IPSAS. This allows clients to structure the move to IPSAS within its appropriate Framework. It is an approach that enables implementation to be done in a structured and well-managed way. In the course we will consider the main requirements of IPSAS and, by showing how they affect financial reports and published accounts, will help you to apply IPSAS. The course will assist both finance managers and general managers whose organisations and departments will be affected by IPSAS.

The course will assist both finance managers and general managers whose organisations and departments will be affected by IPSAS. The consequences of managing the finances of public organisations will be examined, together with potential unintended consequences. How to implement IPSAS effectively and economically, is probably the most important aspect. The approach will be to understand the advantages to the organisation from IPSAS implementation and how benefits realisation can be ensured both internally and for stakeholders. The course will deal with practical issues for public sector organisations, including strategic management and the medium-term financial framework

ABOUT THIS TRAINING The expanding human population and industrialisation are increasing the demand for energy worldwide. This has resulted in numerous challenges such as environmental pollution, reliable supply of fossil fuels, and increased demand of electricity supply, which must be overcome. To fulfil the energy demands and overcome these challenges, numerous projects and funds are involved in finding an adequate solution. Transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and road travel accounts for three-quarters of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles. Emission limits are increasingly stringent, and the fuel industry must change its approach to product formulation to meet the challenge. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: * Get a clear overview of the different types of bio and alternative fuels * Understand how different bio and alternative fuels are produced * Have an overview of feedstock utilised for biofuels production * Realize how the biofuels production could be integrated in modern refinery * Understand how bio and alternative fuels function as single and blended fuels * Understand what impact bio and alternative fuels have on car engine * Get an overview of the environmental impact of bio and alternative fuels * Get the overview of regulation related to bio and alternative fuel Target Audience The course is intended for individuals who are interested in or developing in the field of bio and alternative fuels.
