Strengthening Quality and Support for IFAC Membership
The document discusses IFAC's strategies to strengthen quality and support for its membership. It outlines the 7 Statements of Membership Obligations which cover standards like auditing, ethics, and education. IFAC's 2016-2018 strategic objectives are to enhance reporting, monitoring, and enforcement of these standards. It also discusses progress made in standards adoption, the shared responsibility of different organizations in promoting adoption, and IFAC's initiatives to support members through communication, assistance, review, and enforcement when needed.
The IFAC Action Plan Challenges
The document discusses challenges faced by the Lebanese Association of Certified Public Accountants (LACPA) in meeting international ethics standards. It outlines LACPA's code of ethics and efforts to align it with the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) code. However, some Lebanese laws conflict with ensuring auditor independence.

Improving PFM: The need for a Global PFM profession
The document discusses the need for a global public financial management (PFM) profession in response to issues revealed by the sovereign debt crisis. It outlines weaknesses in PFM that contributed to the crisis and proposes developing a global PFM certification and training program through partnerships between organizations. The goals are to improve PFM standards and capacity on a global scale and establish PFM as a sustainable professional field.
Aggestam a project management perspective on the adoption of accrual based ipsas
Moving from cash or modified accrual-based accounting to full accrual accounting under
International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) can be a challenging endeavor.
Ensuring proper convergence to accrual based IPSAS entails not only a vast amount of work
in the accounting arena of any given public sector entity or government but also often major
changes in business processes and practices. By using a project management approach in
adopting IPSAS an organization/government can make certain that, for example: the project
gets necessary support from top management; a sound governance structure is put in place;
communication and training plans are developed and managed; new accounting policies are
written; and necessary alignment of business processes will take place in a timely manner.
Sound project management may facilitate cost-effective adoption of IPSAS and a broader
strengthening of business practices across the implementing organization/government.
International audit certification
The document discusses international governmental audit certification. It outlines the key components needed for effective governmental auditing, including independence, access, funding, standards, and competent leadership and staff. It describes how certification can assure quality and improve auditing institutions and individuals.

Public financial management in sudan
Our next two papers consider two aspects of public sector audit. The first by Hussein Mohamed El-Nafabi considers the issue of corruption in Sudan and the important role of the Auditor General in the fight against it. The objective of this study is to address the perverse incentives for financial corruption and try to provide practical solutions. It is recognised that, as in many countries, financial corruption is deeply rooted and institutionalized and the fight against it is likely to be long and difficult. However, the paper ends with a series of recommendations to assist with this struggle.
Framework for Analyzing Public Investment Management
This document presents a framework for analyzing public investment management. It outlines eight core features that a well-functioning public investment system should have: 1) investment guidance and screening, 2) formal project appraisal, 3) independent review of appraisals, 4) project selection and budgeting, 5) project implementation, 6) project adjustment, 7) facility operation, and 8) ex-post evaluation. It then provides diagnostic indicators to assess where a country's actual public investment system performs well or poorly compared to the desirable features. The framework aims to inform reforms by identifying performance gaps between desired features and reality.

Institutional transparency is key to preventing corruption. When corporate records, court documents, government procurement records, and media are publicly accessible online, it allows companies to thoroughly research potential partners and identify "red flags" like obscure ownership structures, corruption allegations, or ties to government officials. However, transparency varies greatly between countries and even within countries. In Brazil, for example, corporate records availability ranges from comprehensive online databases to only being available on-site for a fee. Where transparency is lacking, it constrains the private sector's ability to conduct proper due diligence and avoid corrupt partners and transactions.

This document summarizes a political scientist's perspective on corruption from an international conference on governmental financial management. It discusses how corruption is correlated with levels of economic development, political institutions, economic rents, bureaucratic and political incentives, taxation systems, customs agencies, and budget management processes. Potential solutions are outlined like reforming laws and procedures, increasing transparency, oversight, and technology, and strengthening institutions.

The document discusses how capturing illicit financial flows can help fund achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. It notes that $1 trillion in illicit capital leaves developing countries annually, contributing to an estimated $2.5 trillion annual funding gap for the Goals. While political will exists to reduce these flows, misinvoiced trade accounts for $878 billion per year. The document introduces a Trade Misinvoicing Assessment System (TMAS) that analyzes pricing data to help customs officials identify misinvoiced goods shipments, which could help capture more revenue domestically and close the funding gap.

This document discusses how natural resources are embedded within many of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how corruption is often linked to countries that rely heavily on natural resource exports. It notes that while there is no standalone "natural resources" SDG, natural resources relate to goals around ending poverty, achieving food security, access to clean water and affordable energy, sustainable economic growth, reducing inequality, sustainable consumption and production, climate action, and more. It then outlines how corruption is more common in countries with weak institutions that rely on natural resource exports, especially oil, and explains some of the political and economic factors that can contribute to this "resource curse". The document concludes by noting increased calls for transparency and accountability in

This document discusses Ukraine's tax reform efforts to support economic development. Key measures of the 2014 tax reform focused on increasing budget revenues through expanding excise taxes and property taxes. Rates for corporate and personal income taxes were also increased. However, the reform also aimed to enhance entrepreneurship by reducing some tax benefits and making the tax system more transparent and efficient to improve the business climate. Overall, the tax changes helped address fiscal consolidation but further reforms are still needed to minimize taxes' negative impact on growth and bring more business out of the shadow economy.
