This report aims to support regional
collaboration and renewed collective efforts to strengthen
financial management and oversight practices in South Asia.
It compares the public sector accounting and auditing
practices in eight South Asian countries to international
standards. It is intended to inform public sector accounting
and auditing authorities, primarily Ministries of Finance,
accountants general, and auditors general, and support their
efforts to provide senior policy makers and the general
public in their countries with credible, relevant, and
useful financial information about the collection,
management, and use of public resources. This report is
based on detailed 'gap analysis' assessments that
were prepared in recent years in Afghanistan, Bangladesh,
Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka,
providing comparisons of public sector accounting and
auditing practices in those countries to international
standards. This report is a synthesis of the gap analysis reports. |
