As African governments confront rising citizen expectations, fiscal pressures, and governance scrutiny, restoring trust in public finance has become a strategic imperative. With the advent of social media, transparency and accountability are no longer compliance exercises; they are foundational drivers of sustainable growth, service delivery, and social cohesion.

This AAAG webinar will examine how transparency and accountability, when embedded across the public financial management cycle, can serve as powerful accelerators of growth rather than mere compliance obligations. Drawing on country experiences and global best practice, the session will explore how robust value-for-money (VfM) audits, strong internal controls, and open budgeting frameworks can restore confidence in how public resources are raised, managed, and spent.

Participants will gain practical insights into how accountability reforms translate into better service delivery outcomes, reduced wastage, and stronger citizen trust. The webinar will also spotlight the strategic leadership role of the Accountant-General as the custodian of fiscal integrity and the institutional anchor for rebuilding trust in public finance systems across Africa.
