Essentials of Accrual IPSAS Adoption
Workshop Overview
Across Africa, governments are transitioning from cash to accrual-based accounting to strengthen fiscal transparency, accountability, and decision-making. This workshop is a practical, hands-on capacity-building workshop designed to support public sector institutions in planning, managing, and implementing the transition from cash-based accounting to accrual IPSAS, in line with IPSAS 33 – First-time Adoption of Accrual Basis IPSASs.
It is designed to build a shared understanding of the technical, institutional, systems, and change-management dimensions of the accrual transition. Through expert-led sessions, case studies, and practical simulations, participants will explore the full IPSAS adoption lifecycle – from readiness assessment and risk management to book-keeping practices and preparation of opening IPSAS-compliant balance sheets.
The Workshop emphasises real-world application, focusing on addressing common implementation challenges governments face in the adoption process.
