SUMMARY:AAAG Webinar Series: Rebuilding Trust in Public Finance: Accountability as Africa’s Growth Accelerator
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nParticipants 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. \nKey Focus Areas \n\nThe trust deficit in public finance and its economic consequences\nStrengthening VfM audits to ensure public spending delivers results\nInternal controls as a foundation for transparency and accountability\nOpen budgeting and citizen-centric financial reporting\nThe Accountant-General’s leadership role in trust restoration\n\nWho Should Attend \n\nAccountants General and Deputy Accountants General\nSenior PFM and Treasury Officials\nPublic Sector Accountants\nSupreme Audit Institutions\nDevelopment Partners and Governance Practitioners\n\nJoin us to explore actionable strategies to build Trust in Public Finance across Africa. \n📅 Date: 27th March 2026 \n🕘 Time: 14:30 – 16:30 CAT \n📍 Platform: Teams \nREGISTRATION: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/3fb27dcb-9c13-4bec-b3c1-2e20958ad5bf@80be4b3d-f211-4cd9-9104-68537f6fdfb3 \nWe look forward to your participation \nWEBINAR PROGRAM \n\n\n\nTIME\nACTIVITY\nRESPONSIBLE\n\n\n14:30-14:33\nWelcome remarks\nMr. Fredrick Riaga \nCEO\, AAAG\n\n\n14:33-14:40\nOpening Remarks\nTBC\n\n\n14:40-15:10\nPresentation\nTBC\n\n\n15:10-15:35\nCountry Experience: TBC\nTBC\n\n\n15:35-16:00\nCountry Experience: TBC\nTBC\n\n\n16:00-16:30\nQuestions and Answers\nMr. Bruce Mwewa \nTechnical Director\, AAAG\n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:AAAG Webinar Series: Digital First\, Fraud Last: AI-Enabled Public Finance Systems for Africa
DESCRIPTION:Digital transformation is reshaping public finance globally\, yet many African PFM systems are at a critical crossroads. Fragmented platforms\, manual processes\, and reactive controls continue to expose governments to fraud\, inefficiencies\, and data blind spots\, at a time when fiscal pressures demand smarter\, faster decision-making. \nThis webinar will explore how end-to-end digital public financial management systems\, powered by artificial intelligence and advanced analytics\, can fundamentally change how governments prevent fraud\, manage risk\, and optimise resources. Moving beyond automation\, the session will focus on how AI can enable real-time oversight\, predictive risk detection\, and proactive control environments. \nThe session will showcase how Africa-owned digital infrastructure\, AI-driven analytics\, and integrated FMIS platforms can enhance efficiency\, strengthen controls\, and reduce fiscal leakages. \nKey Focus Areas \n\nEnd-to-end digitalisation of the PFM value chain\nAI-enabled fraud detection and predictive risk analytics\nIntegrating FMIS\, procurement\, payroll\, and debt systems\nData governance\, sovereignty\, and cyber-risk management\nLeadership and change management in digital PFM reforms\n\nWho Should Attend \n\nAccountants General and Deputy Accountants General\nSenior PFM and Treasury Officials\nPublic Sector Accountants\nSupreme Audit Institutions\nDevelopment Partners and Governance Practitioners\n\nJoin us to explore actionable strategies for digital transformation of  PFM systems across Africa. \n📅 Date: 24th April 2026 \n🕘 Time: 14:30 – 16:30 CAT \n📍 Platform: Teams \nREGISTRATION: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/9ff3e4ad-5b1e-40f7-8117-654c060f15e1@80be4b3d-f211-4cd9-9104-68537f6fdfb3 \nWe look forward to your participation \nWEBINAR PROGRAM \n\n\n\nTIME\nACTIVITY\nRESPONSIBLE\n\n\n14:30-14:33\nWelcome remarks\nMr. Fredrick Riaga\, CEO\, AAAG\n\n\n14:33-14:40\nOpening Remarks\nTBC\n\n\n14:40-15:10\nPresentation\nTBC\n\n\n15:10-15:35\nCountry Experience: TBC\nTBC\n\n\n15:35-16:00\nCountry Experience: TBC\nTBC\n\n\n16:00-16:30\nQuestions and Answers\nMr. Bruce Mwewa\, Technical Director\, AAAG\n\n\n\n
