Public Finance Innovation for Sustainable Development
How can finance ministries help governments plan, budget, procure, and manage results in a post-pandemic world?
What is desirable, feasible, and viable for public finance innovation?
This webinar explores focused innovation for governmental financial management: accounting, assets, audit, budgeting, liquidity, payroll, performance, procurement, and revenue. Innovation is contextualized for the post-COVID-19 VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguous) world. The question of whether agile, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, blockchain and the Internet of Things are solutions in search of problems will be addressed.
Beyond the innovation hype
- Fiscal stewardship opportunity: how can financial innovation drive national development strategies, including support for the Sustainable Development Goals?
- Public Finance Innovation Framework (PFIF): what are the forms and structures of innovation within government?
- Problem-driven approaches: why are agile methods, even in government, critical for innovation that reflects country conditions?
- Digital and Public Financial Management: what is the role, if any, of digital transformation in PFM reform?
- Innovation success factors: how can governments optimize the return on innovation spend?
- Innovation toolset: what tools, techniques, and technologies can finance ministries leverage for innovation?
- Innovation examples linked to PFIF: what kind of public finance innovations have been implemented, and what does the future hold?
