The latest issue of the International Journal on Governmental Financial Management (Volume VIII, No. 1, 2008) --- formerly known as the Public Funds Digest --- is now available. The Journal, sponsored by the International Consortium on Government Financial Management (ICGFM), is available for download in PDF format from the ICGFM website link above.
This issue has some interesting articles, covering a range of topics from anti-corruption to gap analysis on auditing standards. Specific articles include
- diagnostic tools for auditing and accounting, enabling gap analysis between national and international standards
- the Europe and Central Asian peer-assisted learning initiative in public expenditure management
- measuring and improving supreme audit institutions in developing countries
- two articles related to accrual accounting, one of which explains the 'German' cameral accounting model as an alternative to accrual accounting
- as well as articles on fighting corruption in Nigeria, Nigerian pension reform, and bureaucracy in Bangladesh.
A good collection of articles for public finance aficionados.
