Accra came alive as His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse, graced the opening of the 3rd Annual Conference of the African Association of Accountants General (AAAG), serving as the esteemed Special Guest of Honour.
The prestigious event brought together Accountants General, finance leaders, policymakers, and public sector innovators from across Africa and beyond. Their mission: to deliberate on crucial reforms aimed at strengthening Public Financial Management (PFM) systems and driving economic prosperity across the continent.
The conference, themed “Africa of Tomorrow: Positioning Public Finance Management (PFM) for Economic Prosperity,” focused on aligning PFM structures with Africa’s development agenda. Discussions centred on enhancing accountability and harnessing digital tools to improve financial governance, all while ensuring PFM systems support sustainable growth.
In his keynote remarks, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II applauded the organisers for prioritising financial accountability and institutional reform. He underscored the vital role effective PFM plays in Africa’s pursuit of sustainable economic transformation.
The Ga Mantse called on African governments to invest in capacity building, modern financial systems, and transparent governance practices to build public trust and foster inclusive growth across the continent.
Attracting a diverse delegation of experts and practitioners, the conference is expected to yield actionable recommendations to help countries strengthen fiscal discipline, improve resource mobilisation, and ensure value for money in public expenditure, key steps toward Africa’s economic future.
