About this course

This International program aims at providing officers with a sound grounding on Public Financial management issues of Budget formulation, approval, execution and evaluation, the challenges of IFMIS in the context of Government Accounting, and the role of Audit in effective PFM. Apart from addressing the recent developments impacting PFM in India, the program would also provide hands on training on the latest analytics tools enabling managers to make better sense of Public finance data. The two week training at NIFM is followed by a 1 Week International attachment with ICPE, Slovenia where participants would be exposed to some of the relevant PFM practices in Slovenia and the European Union.

Public financial management (PFM) is universally recognised as an essential part of the development process. Sound PFM supports aggregate control, prioritization, accountability and efficiency in the management of public resources and delivery of services, which are critical to the achievement of public policy objectives. This program will provide the officers with a sound overview of PFM concepts along with an International exposure to related practices

Partner institution for this ITP: ICPE for International exposure to related practices in EU
ICPE is an inter-governmental international Center with its headquarters in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It traces

its origin to the International Center for Public Enterprises in Developing Countries set up on a UN initiative in 1974, which became a fully-fledged international Center in 1980 with more than 40 developing countries as its Member-States. After the independence of Slovenia, the new Republic of Slovenia became the host-country of the ICPE. Later in 1997 the formal name of the Center was changed to International Center for Promotion of Enterprises, by a Resolution of the ICPE Assembly. This gave the Center a more ‘inclusive’ and broad-based mandate in keeping with the changed economic and political priorities of Slovenia and many of the leading Member-States including India.

The ICPE is now mandated to pursue and promote international cooperation in areas related to entrepreneurship development, SME and infrastructure sectors, corporate governance, technology transfer, strategies for privatization, FDI, promotion of knowledge -based societal change through research, training, consultancy and information services in these fields.

PROGRAMME CHIAR’S MESSAGE

The ever increasing changes posing challenges has relegated the relevance of the erstwhile generalization of Rule of Thumb in public financial management. It is against this backdrop, the Government of India set up the National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM), in 1993, to impart specialized education and training in the domain of public financial management. NIFM, over the period, has emerged as a premier institute and centre of excellence in public financial management in and outside India.

NIFM has been offering a two-year regular programme on Post-Graduate Diploma in Management (Financial Management) duly approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) accreditated by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and recognized equivalent to Master’s Degree by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) for the officers working in the Government and the corporate sector. The programme has been designed and updated on regular basis by the Academic Advisory committee (AAC) consisting of members from academia and practitioners in the field of public financial management. That the Programme has been gaining increasing acceptability and relevancy is duly confirmed by the increasing number of participants batch after batch joining the Programme. To quote, the number of participants has almost doubled just within four years from 47 in Batch 2012-14 to 72 in Batch 2015-17.

With a view to make the programme more and more suitable by expanding the knowledge horizons, the participants of the programme join the international educational institutions of high academic repute for their international attachment for two week period. For example, the PGDM(FM) Batch 2014-16 was attached with the University of California, Riverside, USA for two week duration from October 5 to 16,2015 .

I, as the Programme Chair, extend an invitation to the esteemed organizations to nominate their officers for joining the programme to take its full advantage. It has been our earnest effort to impart the maximum value addition to the participants who join the Programme.
