Course Overview

What is IPSAS? IPSAS is an acronym for International Public Sector Accounting Standards. They are issued by an independent body called as International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board. IPSAS are accounting standards which should be applied for a public sector entity when they prepare and present the financial statements.

Why do you need to attend this International Public Sector Accounting Standards Certification Course? Traditionally, Governments prepare their reports under the Cash basis of accounting. They chose this method because it is remarkably simple to apply and prepare reports.

But this method has a lot of disadvantages particularly, it does not specify how many assets a Government holds and liabilities it owes and the value of these items. The alternative method of accounting is Accrual accounting. Accrual accounting is robust because it shows the true value of an organization and it is easy to measure the performance.

At present many countries have plans for moving towards accrual accounting specifically IPSAS. With several countries opting for IPSAS, the demand for finance professionals with a qualification in IPSAS is increasing globally.

On my IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting Standards) Training Course online Training, I had an excellent experience, and it really exceeded my expectation. Mevrick, Senior Training Consultant, and Mohamed Ali, trainer, were excellent. The arrangements were flexible, responses were fast, I got all relevant information timely and in advance. I was lucky to have Ali as a trainer. He is very experienced and knows how to deliver the materials—I learned a lot from him. The conduct of both Mevrick and Ali was so professional.
