THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
Public Finance Management Workshop
Date: 8th – 9th August, 2019
Venue: Kerio View Hotel, Iten
Brief
The implementation of Devolution in Kenya has resulted in the enhancement of the role of CPAs in governance of the country and public finance management. Since 2013, county governments have been involved in the budget formation processes, providing professionals an opportunity to contribute and share their expertise during the County Budget and Economic Forums among other steps in the process. Further, there have arisen challenges in areas such as revenue allocation as well as management of funds.
A number of reforms have been implemented relating to the management of public resources and devolution. The reforms have had mixed outcomes especially for counties. The government through the finance bill expects to formulate tax policies to collect revenue in order to fund government operations. A significant part of this revenue is expected to be generated from public debt which reduces the funds available for devolution. This, among other developments, has advised the organization of the Public Finance Management Seminar with the following topical areas:
- Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) – Purpose & Mechanisms; Macro & Sector working groups
- Governance and ethics in public service: the best practices
- Program Based Budgets – Rationale for PBB; Key elements in PBBs
- Finance bill 2019: the expected tax and economic implications
- Audit committees in the public sector: are they effective?
Target Audience
Government Accounting Officers, Public Finance specialists, Chief Finance Officers, County Government Executives, County Assembly Executives, Legislators, Development Partners, Civil Societies, Donor Agencies, Governance Experts, Policy Analysts, Academia among others.
