The Federal Fire Service (FFS) has intensified efforts to strengthen institutional transparency and financial accountability with the commencement of a specialized capacity-building programme on International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) for its Accountants and Auditors.
The training, which is holding at the Digital Bridge Institute, Jabi, Abuja, is part of the Service\u2019s broader drive to modernize public sector financial management processes. It is being organized in collaboration with Dahenstan Consulting and is aimed at enhancing participants\u2019 competencies in the preparation and presentation of IPSAS Accrual-compliant separate financial statements, in line with global best practices.
Speaking during the programme, the Controller-General of the Federal Fire Service, Olumode Samuel Adeyemi, MBA, MDRM, FCNA, ACTI, \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0447\u0435\u0440\u043a emphasized that continuous training and technical capacity development remain central to his leadership vision of building a modern, efficient, and accountable Fire and Rescue Service. He commended the facilitators and consultants for their expertise and support, noting that the partnership with Dahenstan Consulting reinforces the Service\u2019s financial reform agenda.
The Controller-General noted that improved compliance with IPSAS would significantly reduce audit queries, strengthen internal and external oversight, enhance public confidence, and align the Service\u2019s financial reporting framework with standardized governance practices across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
He further disclosed that the IPSAS training programme will be conducted on a quarterly basis to ensure sustainability, continuous professional development, and effective knowledge retention among finance personnel of the Service.
The initiative, according to him, underscores the Federal Fire Service\u2019s commitment to responsible resource management, improved service delivery, and its contribution to national development through sound financial governance.
