UAE MoF launches IPSAS certification
The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) Ministry of Finance (MoF), in collaboration with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), has initiated an International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) certification programme.
This programme commenced with a training session in Dubai from 17 to 21 February 2025, according to a press release posted on Zawya.
It is targeting the enhancement of skills for financial professionals within federal ministries and entities.
Participants in this programme include financial managers, department heads specialising in finance and accounting, as well as accountants.
The IPSAS certification is a part of the Financial and Accounting Capacity-Building Project.
The project is aimed at bolstering the expertise of federal government financial professionals through governmental collaboration and integration.
The certification is tailored to meet the demands of financial and accounting professionals at the federal level.
It seeks to augment their analytical and technical skills, enabling them to tackle accounting challenges while adhering to international financial reporting standards.
By 2025, the programme aspires to certify and graduate one hundred public sector professionals.
The partnership with ACCA is intended to equip government employees with the necessary tools to apply international accounting standards and fostering transparency and financial efficiency.
The benefits of this initiative extend to the improvement of financial reporting quality and the assurance of greater accuracy in data used for decision-making processes.
MoF Mariam Mohamed Al Amiri Government Financial Management Sector assistance undersecretary 'The IPSAS certification programme is a significant step in the right direction. It will bolster the Ministry of Finance's recently launched financial and accounting capacity-building project.
'The latter aims to equip accountants and financial professionals in federal entities with the skills needed to adopt accrual-based accounting standards, ensuring the UAE's leadership in financial innovation and governance.'
The workshop represents a segment of the broader partnership agreement signed between the MoF and ACCA in November 2024.

Foreigners turn net sellers of Japan stocks for first week in 12
(Reuters) -Foreigners divested Japanese stock for the first time in 12 weeks in the week through June 21 on caution over the Israel-Iran conflict and its impact on Japanese oil imports and inflation. They sold a net 524.3-billion-yen ($3.62 billion) worth of Japanese stocks, logging their first weekly net sales since March 29, data from Japan's Ministry of Finance showed on Thursday. Japan's core inflation hit a more than two-year high in May, which left the Bank of Japan - already grappling with uncertainties over U.S. trade policies - under pressure to resume rate hikes. Despite the outflows, Japanese stocks received net foreign inflows of about 6.81 trillion yen so far in this quarter, the biggest amount in two years. Japanese long-term bonds also recorded a net 368.8-billion-yen worth of foreign outflows last week, following three straight weeks of buying. However, Foreigners bought a robust 1.5-trillion-yen worth of short-term bills, the most in nine weeks. Meanwhile, Japanese participants in overseas markets ditched 88.2-billion-yen worth of foreign stocks in a sixth successive week of net sales. They bought about 615.5-billion-yen worth of long-term foreign bonds, adding to the previous week's 1.57-trillion-yen worth of net bond buying. ($1 = 144.8500 yen) Sign in to access your portfolio

Japan's 20-Year Bond Auction Demand Ratio Below 12-Month Average
Japan's 20-year bond sale saw demand that was slightly lower than its average over the past year after the government adjusted its borrowing plans to calm a surge in yields. The bid-to-cover ratio - a key gauge of investor interest - at the Ministry of Finance's sale of the debt was 3.11. It's stronger than the last two auctions, and compares with a 12-month average of 3.31. The previous auction in May got the weakest demand in more than a decade.
