Course Description

Digitization of public financial management (PFM) processes has seen accelerated progress in the past year aiming to ensure efficiency in operation during times of crisis.

This seminar will inform participants of the potential for future advancements by leveraging existing and emerging technologies to improve efficiency and promote accountability and transparency in budget management and improved delivery of essential services. The seminar will also explore the way in which a digital PFM system can interact with other systems to facilitate good governance.
