This document outlines revisions to the Financial Management and Procurement Manual (FMPM) by structuring discussions into five key areas: Approach and Hierarchy, Risk Assessment and Governance and Anti-Corruption (GAC), Additional Guidance for Financial Management Supervision, and Quality Assurance and Governance Arrangements. It emphasizes a principles-based approach while retaining necessary flexibility, the importance of effective risk assessment, and the need for clear governance practices. The aim is to bolster financial management through targeted guidelines, frameworks, and best practices that can be adapted to regional variations.
