Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) play a pivotal role in strengthening public financial management (PFM) by facilitating the implementation of accrual-based International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and driving broader PFM reforms. This webinar will explore how IFMIS serves as a foundation for transparency, accountability, and efficiency in government financial management.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Facilitative Features of IFMIS: How modern IFMIS supports real-time financial reporting, automated processes, real-time data access, robust internal controls and data-driven decision-making.
  • Building Blocks of a Robust IFMIS: Core functionalities, system architecture, data standardization, cybersecurity, and change management strategies.
  • Challenges & Opportunities: Addressing common implementation hurdles, including system integration, capacity constraints, and change management, while exploring opportunities for enhanced fiscal discipline and data integrity.

The webinar will feature country experiences from Nigeria and Mauritius, providing insights into their IFMIS journeys—challenges faced, strategies for overcoming obstacles, and key lessons learned. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how governments can leverage IFMIS to transition smoothly to accrual-based IPSAS and enhance overall PFM effectiveness.

  • Accountants General and Senior Public Finance Officers
