Advancing Digital Change through Public Financial Management

May 11, 2023 Prishtina, Kosovo No Fee

Hosted jointly by the CEF and CIPFA, this international conference will provide you with the opportunity to explore the roles of public financial management (PFM) professionals in public sector digital transformation, with a particular focus on issues and examples in South East Europe. 

By exploring recent case studies related to strategic planning, decision-making, implementation, and the impact of digital transformation projects in an interactive way, you will hear first-hand experiences of the process. With parallel sessions available throughout the day, you will be able to dive deep into the specifics of presented digitalization cases from various countries. 

Experts from across various PFM disciplines, including asset management, audit, and accounting, will facilitate discussions and share their views on the political, institutional, and cultural factors that are influencing the wider transformation in the region.

Together we will explore recent digital transformation case studies specific to:
