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
