The
International Consortium sponsors a learning forum and luncheon the first Wednesday of each month at The Brookings Institution. Sessions begin at 11:45 and details can be found on the Upcoming Events page.
The first forum
was held on February 6, 1985 in the dining room of the Comptroller
General of the United States. The purpose of these monthly
luncheon presentations is to permit those persons interested
in improving public sector financial management and the
quality of the financial information produced by governments
to meet, make presentations, communicate, share ideas, learn
what's going on across the world and network in general.
Those who attend are from the IFI's, U.S. government agencies,
consulting firms, universities, individual international
consultants and representatives of our international member
organizations who may be visiting, working in Washington,
D.C. or have come by special invitation to make a presentation.
Summaries of the presentations and question-and-answer periods
which follow are published in the ICGFM's quarterly newsletter,
Government Financial Management World, which is posted to
this web site under Publications/Newsletter, making it truly
an international forum. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday
of each month from February through June and again from
September through December, a total of nine meetings during
the year. For additional
