Accountancy, Integrity & Financial Management:
Overview

The IBTCI Accountancy, Integrity & Financial Management Division offers expert technical assistance and training services in standardizing accounting and auditing practices across both the public and private sectors in emerging and transition economies worldwide. For our public sector clients, we provide expertise in setting up the regulatory and institutional framework to improve or to reform national accounting practices in line with international standards. We also provide services in university curriculum reform as well as capacity building support to quasi-public institutions such as Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO). In the private sector, we work with enterprises to facilitate enterprise based accounting reform as well as to improve internal financial management functions.

IBTCI believes that the international competitiveness of developing countries is increasingly related to improvements in the management of both private sector enterprises and public sector institutions. As investors demand greater corporate transparency, and both citizens and the donor community expect more effective public financial management, IBTCI believes that improved financial and managerial accounting systems will be a pre-requisite for sustainable economic development in the new millennium.

Training is an essential cross-cutting component of IBTCI's Accountancy, Integrity & Financial Management Practice. We utilize principles of adult learning, a variety of instructional approaches, and a mix of delivery vehicles to provide our clients with the most effective means of knowledge transfer.
