Transcript of Financial Management and Procurement
The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the World Bank emphasise the need to strengthen the finance profession in developing and emerging economies in order to achieve a stable and stronger financial performance – fundamental to the effective delivery of public services. International donors, governments, national and local institutions, including regulators and professional accountancy bodies, need to work together to achieve long-lasting improvements, transparency and accountability in public financial management.
RIPA International’s range of specialist financial and procurement programmes and workshops address your organisation’s financial management challenges at both country, regional and global levels. They will help you to strengthen your organisation’s overall financial performance through developing and sustaining strong financial management, auditing, procurement and contracting systems.

Procurement and Contract Management
Workshop aimThe aim of contract management is to ensure the delivery of a cost effective and reliable service at an agreed price and standard. It must be consistent with legal requirements and financial propriety. Effective monitoring of contracts ensures that compliance is built into the relationship between contractor and the awarding body (the client/ customer) at all stages of the contractual relationship.
This programme internationally benchmarks differing methodologies and approaches in undertaking these critical first-stage areas of the contract management cycle. You will undertake site visits and listen to guest speakers with practical experience in contract management and in the burgeoning area of sustainable procurement, both within the UK and internationally.
What you will learn: � How common standards of financial reporting can help to make key financial judgements in different legal and financial jurisdictions
� The legal and ethical framework behind the development of international accounting standards
� How such standards apply across both the public and private sectors, and how modern governmental institutions need to understand the implications of both in terms of managing the public sector and supporting and regulating the private sector
� How governments, central banks and regulatory bodies have responded to the international banking and credit crisis
� The background to the development of IPSAS, including the role of the International Accounting Standards Board (ISAB) and the application of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) in the private sector
� The implications of using resource accounting and budgeting in public sector organisations
� Review of current developments in IPSAS and in specific technical areas
Benefits of attending - You will be able to: � Identify which IPSAS are likely to apply specifically to your organisation and apply key requirements from each to your organisation’s financial systems and published accounts
� Ensure compliance with relevant IPSAS � Make necessary preparations for any introduction of resource accounting and budgeting
International Public Sector Accounting Standards* Schedule, Winter – Spring
Workshop aimModern governments require a deep understanding of how both the private and public sectors operate. Sound financial management requires financial reporting to be on a common platform to help with the allocation of resources in support of organisations’ strategic objectives. This applies to the management of the public sector but also applies to the regulation and supervision of the private sector and the overall management of the national economy.
This workshop demonstrates the need for efficient and effective financial management across governmental organisations: to clients, to their national executive and legislative bodies and to individual citizens and customers. We will consider the main requirements of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and, by demonstrating how they affect financial reports, will help you to apply IPSAS within your organisation. (Time will be given to improving skills in the technical aspects of IPSAS.)
93% of delegates who attended our IPSAS* workshop told us that the speakers answered all questions asked and provided everyone with appropriate information

The Complete Procurement Cycle A Modern Approach to Procurement: A Strategic Perspective
Effective Tendering, Award of Contract and Managing your Provider Public Financial Management: Planning and Control
Programme aimCombining both ‘Effective Tendering, Award of Contract and Managing your Provider’ and ‘A Modern Approach to Procurement: A Strategic Perspective’, this comprehensive four-week programme will improve your knowledge of procurement, tendering processes, regulatory frameworks, risks on all aspects of the procurement cycle, procurement strategies and contract supervision
The programme covers the full procurement cycle and key principles from the start of the process, through effective tendering documentation, the evaluation process and the legal aspects of award of tender, to the management of providers.
We look at the linkages between procurement strategies and the improved delivery of corporate and organisational objectives using these strategies. The programme examines the risks associated with poor procurement practice and the abuse of procurement processes by contractors through cartels, price rings and unfair restrictions on trade.
Programme aimThis programme offers the opportunity to build a strategic approach to the procurement of goods and services across your organisation, ensuring a more structured system is effectively developed, adopted or enhanced. Strategic procurement supports stronger supplier and contractor management capabilities for the whole organisation by limiting the negative effects of unilateral tendering and piecemeal management of contracts with the danger of a lack of due diligence and potential malfeasance. It brings clear cost benefits through the ability to rigorously monitor and enforce service levels, reducing the incidence of contractual dispute and, critically for public services, failed targets.
An emphasis on both central government and private sector perspectives in the UK, growing initiatives in sustainable procurement internationally and a review of contemporary World Bank procurement policies is complemented by visiting practitioners facilitating case study assessments and identifying appropriate measures required to introduce or enhance the strategic procurement capability of participants’ own organisations.
The programme considers the most challenging aspects of the procurement cycle, including the critical ‘hotspots’ of tender evaluation and contract management.
Programme aimAnyone involved in the tender and procurement of goods and/or services will benefit from this programme, which offers a theoretical underpinning backed by practitioner experience. It covers the detailed steps of the full procurement cycle as well as key principles in each stage of the process, through effective tendering documentation, the evaluation process and the legal aspects of award of tender, to the management of providers.
Delegates will be able to expand their knowledge and understanding and be well positioned to recommend, support and influence opportunities to improve procurement processes within their own organisations.
Programme aimHigh standards of financial management are central to all other reforms in the public sector. Prospective donors attach growing importance to effective financial management systems.
The aim of this programme is to help countries pass these tests by increasing and deepening knowledge of good financial management practices throughout their public sector community. It is designed for policy makers, financial practitioners and line managers with financial and resource management responsibilities.
Participants and their organisations will benefit from increased knowledge of modern, public financial management practices and the high standards expected of the public sector. With this knowledge, participants will be able to review the resource allocation mechanisms and budgetary and financial controls within their organisations and ensure that resources are better planned and controlled and are consistent with political priorities.

Financial Risk Management
Programme aimThe management of risk is fundamental to the efficient and effective implementation of policy and programmes for government and its agencies, as well as for the ongoing success of an individual organisation’s strategy, business development and operations. In today’s global economy, it is a formal requirement underpinning international standards, corporate governance and quality assurance measures.
Financial risk has had its profile raised recently due to events in the international banking sector and the general economic downturn. Organisations have seen turnover fall in key areas, bad debt rise and, in government’s case, the cost of social support programmes soar. All of these are examples of risks materialising, often in ways that were not previously well understood.
This programme will deal with budgetary, trading, propriety, fiscal and treasury management risk, setting out the techniques for risk identification, assessment and mitigation. We will examine the roles of managers, financial managers and internal and external audit in managing risk and the governance arrangements that support and enforce the management of risk.

Financial Risk Management
Programme aimThe management of risk is fundamental to the efficient and effective implementation of policy and programmes for government and its agencies, as well as for the ongoing success of an individual organisation’s strategy, business development and operations. In today’s global economy, it is a formal requirement underpinning international standards, corporate governance and quality assurance measures.
Financial risk has had its profile raised recently due to events in the international banking sector and the general economic downturn. Organisations have seen turnover fall in key areas, bad debt rise and, in government’s case, the cost of social support programmes soar. All of these are examples of risks materialising, often in ways that were not previously well understood.
This programme will deal with budgetary, trading, propriety, fiscal and treasury management risk, setting out the techniques for risk identification, assessment and mitigation. We will examine the roles of managers, financial managers and internal and external audit in managing risk and the governance arrangements that support and enforce the management of risk.

Benefits of attending - You will be able to: � Determine the legal and regulatory requirements for the audit � Carry out an analysis of the organisation to be audited, including determining the scope for malpractice in each element of the procurement cycle and a staff assessment
� Explore possible alternatives to procurement such as outsourcing
Procurement Audit
Programme aimThe evolution of the procurement process has led to increasing demands on the professionalism of procurement audit practitioners. With procurement of goods and services a major component of any national budget, maintaining transparency, accountability and fairness in the procurement process is imperative.
This comprehensive programme will improve your knowledge of procurement, regulatory frameworks, risks on all aspects of the procurement cycle and contract supervision. You will develop your practical skills in the audit process from planning to execution and reporting and monitoring recommendations.

Effective monitoring of contracts ensures that compliance is built into the relationship between contractor and the awarding body (the client/ customer) at all stages of the contractual relationship.

� The background to the development of IPSAS, including the role of the International Accounting Standards Board (ISAB) and the application of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) in the private sector
� The implications of using resource accounting and budgeting in public sector organisations

Benefits of attending - You will be able to: � Identify which IPSAS are likely to apply specifically to your organisation and apply key requirements from each to your organisation’s financial systems and published accounts
� Ensure compliance with relevant IPSAS � Make necessary preparations for any introduction of resource accounting and budgeting
International Public Sector Accounting Standards* Schedule, Winter – Spring
Workshop aimModern governments require a deep understanding of how both the private and public sectors operate. Sound financial management requires financial reporting to be on a common platform to help with the allocation of resources in support of organisations’ strategic objectives. This applies to the management of the public sector but also applies to the regulation and supervision of the private sector and the overall management of the national economy.
This workshop demonstrates the need for efficient and effective financial management across governmental organisations: to clients, to their national executive and legislative bodies and to individual citizens and customers. We will consider the main requirements of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and, by demonstrating how they affect financial reports, will help you to apply IPSAS within your organisation. (Time will be given to improving skills in the technical aspects of IPSAS.)
