SUMMARY:Essentials of Accrual IPSAS Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Overview \nAcross 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. \nIt 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. \nThe Workshop emphasises real-world application\, focusing on addressing common implementation challenges governments face in the adoption process. \nDates:  11 – 13 March\, 2026 \nLocation: David Livingstone Hotel\, Livingstone\, Zambia \nParticipation Fee: $450 \nTo register: https://tinyurl.com/IPSASWorkshop. \nDownload The Training Concept Paper below: \nEnglish:Training Concept Paper – Essentials of Accrual IPSAS Adoption and Accounting \nFRENCH: Atelier sur les normes IPSAS_ Note Conceptuelle

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:Reporting for Resilience: Strengthening Public Sector Sustainability Reporting under IPSASB SRS 1
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is no longer only an environmental concern; it is a fiscal\, governance and public accountability issue. Across Africa\, climate-related risks are increasingly affecting public infrastructure\, service delivery\, debt sustainability\, budget credibility and long-term development outcomes. Yet many public sector reporting systems still do not provide sufficient information on how climate-related risks and opportunities affect government operations\, public assets\, fiscal resilience and service delivery. \nThis webinar will focus on the emerging public sector sustainability reporting agenda\, with particular emphasis on IPSASB SRS 1: Climate-related Disclosures. Participants will explore how public sector entities can begin preparing to disclose climate-related risks and opportunities in a manner that strengthens accountability\, supports decision-making and enhances transparency in general-purpose financial reports. \nThe session will also highlight the pivotal role of the Accountant-General in supporting sustainability reporting readiness\, strengthening data systems\, coordinating climate-related financial information\, and ensuring that sustainability disclosures are connected to financial reporting\, fiscal risk management\, asset management\, budgeting and long-term public finance resilience. \nKey Focus Areas\nThe webinar will focus on the practical and strategic dimensions of public sector sustainability reporting\, equipping participants with an understanding of IPSASB SRS 1 and the institutional actions required to strengthen climate-related disclosure\, fiscal transparency and reporting readiness across African governments. The specific objectives to be addressed will include: \n\nUnderstanding IPSASB SRS 1 and its implications for public sector reporting.\nClimate-related risks\, opportunities and their relevance to public finance management.\nGovernance\, strategy\, risk management\, metrics and targets under climate-related disclosures.\nLinking sustainability reporting to financial statements\, fiscal risk reporting and service delivery.\nThe role of the Accountant-General in strengthening climate-related data integrity and reporting readiness.\nPractical steps for preparing governments and public sector entities for implementation before the 2028 effective date.\nBuilding institutional coordination between finance ministries\, accountants general\, climate agencies\, planning authorities and audit institutions.\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nAccountants General and Deputy Accountants General\nSenior Public Financial Management and Treasury Officials\nPublic Sector Accountants and Financial Reporting Specialists\nBudget\, Fiscal Risk and Debt Management Officials\nClimate Finance and Planning Officials\nSupreme Audit Institutions\nMinistries of Finance and Environment\nDevelopment Partners and Governance Practitioners\nProfessional Accountancy Organisations and Standard Setters\n\nRegistration\nJoin us to explore practical steps for strengthening public sector sustainability reporting\, improving climate-related financial disclosures\, and building resilient PFM systems across Africa. \n📅 Date: Friday\, 26th June 2026\n🕘 Time: 14:30 – 16:30 CAT\n📍 Platform: Microsoft Teams \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nFor more information\, contact info@aaag.africa \nWebinar Program\n\n\n\nTime\nActivity\nResponsible\n\n\n14:30 – 14:33\nWelcome remarks\nAAAG Secretariat\n\n\n14:33 – 14:40\nOpening remarks\nTBC\n\n\n14:40 – 15:10\nTechnical Presentation: Understanding IPSASB SRS 1 and the Public Sector Sustainability Reporting Agenda\nIPSASB Sustainability Reporting Experts\n\n\n15:10 – 15:35\nCountry Experience: Preparing Public Sector Systems for Climate-Related Disclosures\nTBC\n\n\n15:35 – 16:00\nCountry Experience: Linking Climate Risk\, Financial Reporting and Fiscal Resilience\nTBC\n\n\n16:00 – 16:25\nQuestions and Answers\nModerator\n\n\n16:25 – 16:30\nClosing remarks and next steps\nAAAG Secretariat\n\n\n\n
