What delegates say
In their words
The reconciliation workflow we built during the automation module cut our monthly reporting time by nine days. It is still running two years later.
Ministry of Finance, Kenya
We arrived with three unresolved audit queries on asset recognition. We left with a documented position on all three and the working papers to support it.
Ghana
The faculty had done the job. That mattered. Nobody was explaining accrual accounting to us from a textbook.
Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria
Our budget monitoring pack went from a backward-looking report to something the cabinet secretary reads before decisions. That change started in Bali.
Ministry of Finance, Rwanda
