ACCA INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC SECTOR CONFERENCE 2018THE DIGITAL PUBLIC SECTOR

2

Welcome to our eighth ACCA International public sector conference hosted for the first time in Singapore, and we are pleased to be co-organising this conference with the Singapore Accountancy Commission (SAC).

Our theme this year is The Digital Public Sector. Over the next two days we’ll explore together a wide range of issues and topics about how the digital world is impacting the profession in the public sector.

ACCA’s research has shown how numerous external forces are making the public sector more fluid, forcing it to evolve. Technological developments are helping the sector to rethink public service delivery models, and to effectively manage the opportunities and the risks. How we manage that change as leaders is crucial, and part of that leadership is to embrace the digital agenda.

There’s no doubt that digitisation and technology are powerful ways to make connections between those working in the public sector and external stakeholders. Technology means we can share information at the speed of light, to be more open and more transparent and to be more accountable. As a result, digital governance, data management and data privacy are pressing issues.

However, like the private sector, the public sector is not immune from cyber-attacks or malicious use of data; public sector accountants have to be the ethical custodians of data and the technology used to produce it. Trust, transparency and effective public financial management will always be the bedrock of a thriving public sector.

The skills and knowledge of the professional accountant in the public sector are therefore crucial. The digital public sector should not outplay the human public sector. People and their ability to lead will always be the key to unlocking organisational value – regardless of the sector in which they work. And that’s why we’ll also be sharing ideas and views about the future skills of the profession and where it’s heading.

This Conference is supported by the Singapore Accountancy Commission (SAC).

ACCA signed an MOU with SAC in January 2017 to embark on a range of research collaborations to transform the accountancy sector. Among other joint activities, SAC and ACCA have also conducted a high level roundtable with UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) more recently.

We are delighted that SAC is supporting this event, and we look forward to our future work together.

We wish you all a digitally inspiring and connected conference.

Please use the tech available to you and share the knowledge. Our hashtag is #ACCAPublicSector.
