THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
PUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENT
DATE: 21ST – 22ND SEPT.
VENUE: ITEN -KERIO VIEW HOTEL
Theme: “Driving improvements in service delivery through PFM”
Introduction
Strong PFM systems are essential to improved service delivery, poverty reduction and the achievement of Kenya’s Vision 2030. Effective PFM systems maximize financial efficiency, improve transparency and accountability, and in theory contribute to long-term economic success. Activities range from the preparation and fulfillment of the budget cycle, budget oversight and control, taxing, debt management and procurement, to resource allocation and income distribution, and are increasingly seen as a set of inter-related sub-systems rather than a stand-alone activity. Over the last two decades, almost all developed countries have conducted substantive reforms to strengthen their PFM systems and generate reliable information to promote fiscal stability and sustainable development
The Public Financial Management Seminar brings together professionals from the Private and Public Sector to share experiences and knowledge on the subject. The sessions will provide some great knowledge base as well as a unique opportunity to expand your professional horizons with many new ideas to be implemented for public sector improvements and reforms.
