The document summarizes Nigeria's transition to adopting International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). It discusses Nigeria conducting a gap analysis between its existing accounting standards and IPSAS requirements. Several gaps were identified, including issues around the legal framework, accounting for external assistance, consolidation of controlled entities, and timeliness of financial reporting. Nigeria developed a work program to address the gaps through actions like consolidating controlled entity cash flows and improving timeliness of financial statement submission. Successful adoption of IPSAS requires conditions like a sound cash-based accounting system, political support, technical capacity, and automated information systems.
Government accounting and financial reporting in Latin America: The state of ...OECD Governance
The document summarizes government accounting and financial reporting reforms in Latin America. It discusses the evolution of reforms from initial macroeconomic stabilization to improved management of public resources and service delivery. While early reforms focused on budgeting, the 2008 crisis highlighted the importance of accounting and financial reporting. Most countries plan to modernize systems and adopt IPSAS on an accrual basis, motivated by increased transparency and accountability. Implementation faces challenges around resources, regulations and resistance to change. Regional support is needed for knowledge sharing and coordinated reforms.
We welcome the decision by the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) to review the Cash Basis IPSAS, but we are reminded of the story of the pedestrian who was asked by a motorist for directions, and replied, “If I was you I wouldn’t start from here...”.

This document discusses IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting Standards) implementation. It explains that IPSAS aims to enhance transparency and accountability in public sector financial reporting. While implementing IPSAS requires substantial time and costs, the returns are higher through improved identification of assets, more active asset management, better decision making, and lower debt levels and interest rates. Over 40 countries have adopted IPSAS directly or indirectly through national standards. While challenges remain, IPSAS implementation strengthens fiscal transparency and management.
Georgia ipsas strategy for ipsas implementationicgfmconference
The document outlines Georgia's strategy for implementing International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) over six phases from 2010 to ongoing. It will initially adopt a modified cash basis for financial reporting to address data limitations, and will progressively implement more accrual-based elements. Key actions include establishing a standards board, piloting with 11 entities, and translating IPSAS. Full accrual compliance is targeted for 2020, though some standards may be difficult to implement.
The document provides an overview of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and the transition from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to IPSAS. Some key points:
- IPSAS are accounting standards developed for use by public sector entities based on IFRS. They aim to improve financial reporting and transparency.
- There are differences between cash-based and accrual-based accounting. IPSAS follows the accrual basis which recognizes revenues when earned and expenses when incurred rather than when cash is received or paid.
- Adopting IPSAS has benefits like standardizing definitions and measurements, improving resource allocation and internal controls, and providing more meaningful financial statements and transparency.

The document discusses the accounting challenges faced by Indian companies in accounting for mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities required under Section 135 of the Companies Act. There are no clear accounting standards for CSR activities in India, which are considered "not-for-profit" in nature. Internationally, not-for-profit activities are governed by the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), while for-profit business activities follow the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The lack of accounting guidelines for CSR in India, as well as the need to comply with both IPSAS and IFRS for consolidated reporting, poses challenges for Indian companies in appropriately accounting for their CSR programs.
The document provides an overview of IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting Standards), including the benefits of accrual accounting, the IPSASB standard-setting process, guidance on adopting IPSAS, and experiences from the UK.

This document provides a summary of IPSAS 18 on segment reporting. Some key points:
- IPSAS 18 requires entities to report financial information by segments to improve understanding of past performance and resources allocated to major activities.
- Segments will usually be based on major goods/services, programs, and activities. Commonly used segments include departments, agencies, and service lines.
- Assets jointly used by segments must be allocated if related revenues and expenses are also allocated. Comparative segment data must be restated if a new segment is identified.
- The summary also briefly outlines IPSAS 19 on provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets and the criteria for recognition of each.
Sound governance and effective institutions are essential to achieve shared prosperity and sustained reductions in poverty.
Public accountability and proper governance contribute to better delivery of public services, support competition and growth, including through cooperation with private sector.
Quality information helps the government properly analyze risks and play their essential roles in resolving the complex and interconnected challenges in variety of sectors, including in health, social protection and education.
This document discusses the role of senior civil servants in organizational performance and accountability. It argues that senior civil servants are key to performance because they can align organizational goals with employee objectives, control inputs and processes to influence performance, and leverage tacit knowledge. Creating a performance framework with both "hard" drivers like regulations and "soft" drivers like culture is important. Regular, data-informed performance dialogues between senior civil servants and the center of government can ensure accountability and course corrections. Investing in civil service capabilities like leadership, recruitment, and development is also vital for high performance.

The document discusses adaptation in the global stocktake process and Kenya's experience with monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) of adaptation actions. Some key points:
1) The global stocktake assesses collective progress on long-term climate goals including the global goal on adaptation. It focuses on enhancing adaptation implementation and effectiveness.
2) Kenya has developed various climate plans and policies but faces challenges with MEL of adaptation due to financing gaps, coordination issues, and lack of universal metrics.
3) Successful MEL is important for future global stocktakes. Operationalizing the Glasgow Dialogue on Action will provide important inputs. Continued improvement on MEL methods and data is still needed.

International Tax Planning after BEPS - A Country SpotlightTIAG_Alliance
The OECD initiative against “Base Erosion and Profit Shifting” was
commissioned by the G-20 in 2013. Final deliverables were presented to the G-20 in November 2015.
“Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) refers to tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations where there is little or no economic activity, resulting in little or no overall corporate tax being paid. BEPS is of major significance for developing countries due to their heavy reliance on corporate income tax, particularly from multinational enterprises (MNEs.)”

Graham Wood is a CIMA qualified accountant with extensive experience as an interim finance contractor. He has worked in both the public and private sectors, assisting organizations with statutory reporting, improving systems and processes, and supporting management teams. His most recent roles include interim positions at Paradigm Housing Group, Octavo Partnership Limited, and Bellway Homes.
The document discusses lessons learned from the UK's experience transitioning to accrual-based accounting across the public sector. It summarizes that the UK took a phased approach, first adopting accruals in public corporations and local government before implementing them more broadly. Central government departments were the last to fully adopt accrual accounting at an organizational level. The transition required managing both the technical accounting changes and cultural changes over a multi-year period to maximize benefits to public financial management.
The document discusses budget transparency reforms in the Kingdom of Lesotho, including its public financial management (PFM) reform efforts and the implementation of an integrated financial management information system (IFMIS).

completion now slated for Central government by 2020.

• In 2013, greater political buy-in saw development of a plan
to have financial reports that are IPSAS compliant by
2019.

performance budgeting. Another driving force was the
need for restructuring and developing the existing IT
landscape within the federal administration.
