THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
PUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENT
DATE: 14th – 15th September 2017
VENUE: Best Western Creekside Hotel, Mombasa
Theme: “Driving improvements in service delivery through PFM”
Introduction
The Kenya government recently enforced public sector reforms with the goal of enhancing the quality and efficiency of service delivery. The major changes contextualized by these reforms will only be successful if paired with strong public finance management systems. Effective PFM systems maximize financial efficiency and improve transparency and accountability, which results in long-term economic prosperity.
Proper public finance management encompasses the preparation and fulfillment of the budget cycle, budget oversight and control, taxing, debt management and procurement, resource allocation and income distribution. These activities are increasingly seen as a set of inter-related sub-systems rather than stand-alone units. Having set off on the journey to improve service delivery, the public sector now grapples to address challenges of integrating PFM activities and refining them to promote fiscal stability and sustainable development in the country.
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 great knowledge as well as a unique opportunity to expand professional horizons with many new ideas to be implemented for public sector improvements and reforms.
The presentations and discussion at the workshop will focus on:
