curricula. IBTCI is expert in enterprise accounting reform where we assist in the
generation and reporting of best-practice financial and managerial information to
promote greater investor confidence in business resulting in increased domestic and
foreign investment.
- Integrity Functions: IBTCI believes that the key ingredients for good corporate
governance and low levels of corruption are the establishment of: effective internal
controls, operational and financial accountability, transparency and reporting,
adequate supervision and external oversight, appropriate independent audit, and
dependable enforcement. IBTCI provides advice in assessing existing systems and in
developing the necessary framework to improve internal and external financial
reporting and financial oversight. We also bring expertise in performance assessment,
anti-corruption measures, and professional ethics. IBTCI consultants provide the
expertise and experience to ensure that the procedural building blocks for good
corporate governance and low levels of corruption are adopted and implemented in
client and beneficiary organizations.

public and private sector organizations to improve budgetary, fiscal, and
expenditure/cost control processes. We help finance ministries and economic
ministries to develop the regulatory framework and internal processes for more
effective financial management and oversight. IBTCI helps government clients to
achieve greater expenditure accountability by strengthening expenditure policies
and processes and by training professional personnel for more effective public
resource management. IBTCI provides training coordinated with practical expert
advice to assist enterprises, and their local advisors, in implementing best practice
financial and managerial information systems. This promotes effective, efficient, and
competitive business operations. IBTCI consultants have been instrumental in creating
the informational and managerial control infrastructure essential for organizations to
ensure that: resources are adequately protected; resources are acquired economically
and used efficiently and effectively; and the organization's plans, goals, and
objectives are achieved.
