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. 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 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
