About the workshop
This workshop focuses on helping organisations to achieve the full benefits of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and/or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We look at how best to manage the effective application of the Standards and how public and private sector organisations can effectively use financial accounting to improve resource management, corporate governance and accountability.
