Passcode: iG9Efmv@
The topic deals with the challenges connected with switching from cash-based to accrual accounting, the aim of the webinar being to share experiences from colleagues having gone through the process; being in the middle of it; or still hesitating – and why. Our presenters represent different regions, environments, experiences and stages. We will listen to Ms Sharon Wangari Simon of SAI Kenya, and Dr Ahmed Nawfal of SAI Iraq, both members of the ACCC workstream. We will also hear a presentation by Dave Warren, Director at IPSASB (International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board) teaching us about IPSAS 33 and guidance material available to those in the process of converting to accrual accounting.
