About the event
The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU) invites you to the Public Sector Webinar scheduled as follows:
Date : Wednesday, 14 October 2020
Time : 2:00 - 4:00 pm
OVERVIEW
The COVID-19 pandemic has tested public financial management (PFM) systems in many ways. After emerging from the crisis, one of the legacies of this extraordinary period will undoubtedly be the longer-term financial impacts of the interventions by government. The unparalleled nature and scale of the fiscal measures being taken in response to COVID-19 reinforce the need for strong PFM to maximise their immediate effectiveness. Strong public oversight and accountability for the resources used in fighting the pandemic, through high quality financial reporting, will also be essential to making their overall impact on public sector finances fully transparent.
The webinar will outline provide insights public sector entities can take to prepare and strengthen their capacity concerning PFM systems in unprecedented times.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of the webinar, participants should be able to:
- Identify challenges that are bound to be faced by both government and the business community
- Identify steps that can be taken to mitigate these challenges.
- Recommend options for effective service.
- Report on the economic and financial substance of the COVID-19 related interventions.
