There has been persistent and increasing pressure on government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to be more accountable and transparent in their financial dealings. This position is due to the strong role finance plays in the development of any economy. Stakeholders are also in agreement that, no economy can run successfully without a sound financial system. This is because, financial management enables strategic planning, organising, directing, and controlling of financial undertakings in an organisation. Hence, financial experts in project management need to emphasize accountability through robust financial framework and operation.
The goal of this programme is to support financial managers in public and private organisations, project implementers, and project finance teams in designing, improving, and strengthening an effective approach to financial management systems. This study tour will provide clear guidance and clarifications on the role of financial management systems in budgetary and the entire project.
