2020 PERSPECTIVES

  • The sources of public sector finances will remain the same
  • What might change are the volumes in the mix
  • Taxes, fines, and for municipalities, property rates, water bills, service

charges What will change?

  • Skills required of you to remain relevant and influential
  • The World is moving to IPSAS, posing significant threat to ACCA members who

do not change skills sets

  • Brettonwoods Institutions expect IPSAS reporting framework for public sector
  • Some UN organs are on IPSAS
  • ACCA introduced a certificate in IPSAS, to equip members, make use of that.

TE TECH CHNOL OLOG OGY CH CHANGE GES-2020 2020

  • The old small phone has memory much more than that of Apollo 11.(Edwin Aldrin, Neil

Armstrong and colleague

  • Those who thought the Apollo 11 software had reached the best, please pray for them to

resurrect and see what technology is doing today

  • Modern software as displayed here by SAGE and CASEWARE does wonders
  • CCG Systems is demonstrating how the professional accountants skills beyond 2020
  • Robots will prepare most of your reports
  • ROBOTS can prepare presentations to Board or can present at your Board

Are you maintaining relevance beyond 2020?

  • No, take the initiative to lead in robotics
  • Robots can give you information about your debtors, creditors, bank balances etc
  • So go back and drive change in order to stay relevant

  • Uniform reports for public sector- IPSAS
  • A business approach to financial reporting in public sector

  • Automated preparation of financial statements eg Caseware Financials
  • Corruption in payment of creditors can be reduced through use of ERP
  • Rapid financial reporting, financial information up to date at all times

OBJECTI TIVE OF IPSAS

WHO IN AFRICA IS NOT TALKING TRANSPARENCY TODAY?

  • To prescribe the manner in which general purpose financial

statements should be presented to ensure comparability both with the entity’s financial statements of previous periods and with the financial statements of other entities.

  • Sets out overall considerations for the presentation of

financial statements, guidance for their structure, and minimum requirements for the content of financial statements prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

SC SCOPE OPE

  • Applied to all general purpose financial statements

prepared and presented under the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with IPSASs.

  • Does not apply to condensed interim financial

information

  • Applies to all public sector entities other than

Government Business Enterprises (GBEs)/SOES.

TH THE E PAST T PI PITF TFALLS

What is this hell, that I hear IMF says our accounts are misleading

  • r are not transparent?

Sir, you know we do not record transactions once our budget line item is exhausted and we cannot virement, per our accounting manual. Correct, so, what is the problem with that? IMF must stop this discrimination against African countries? What does ACCA say? The ACCA qualified audit partner said all obligations must be recorded and included in our financial statements so that we are not hiding anything? He said that is what IPSAS say.

MODIFIED CASH BASIS OR FULL LL ACCRUAL? L?

MODIFIED CASH BASIS Implies that estimates of obligations are brought to book at year end If your Public sector is unable to settle its obligations as they fall due don’t waste time and money trying modified cash basis FULL ACCRUAL Public sector in Africa does not have money to clear their obligations as they fall due. Accordingly, go for full accrual accounting. Under Full accrual it is like how you are maintaining the books of accounts for private sector. Introduce: creditors, provisions, debtors, fixed assets into your financial reporting. Under the current practice fixed assets were expensed in public sector thereby producing misleading financial statements. In short, you should begin to produce a balance sheet /statement of financial position for your public sector entity. Your budget will also have to take into account accrual issues into account. Brettonwoods institutions have been sceptical about misleading financial statements from many countries-lack of transparency. What is lack of transparency?
