On the initiative of the Ministry of Finance of Tajikistan, participants from seven PEMPAL member countries joined the Treasury Community of Practice (TCOP) Study visit to Ankara, Turkey, held from November 19 to 21, 2013.
The main objective of the visit was to familiarize TCOP representatives with fundamentals of PFM system of Turkey, and to offer them an opportunity to get familiar with the information technology used by Turkish government agencies for public finance management (GBS.NET).
Participants, 35 all together, split into two groups. One focused its activities predominately on familiarization with functional aspects of PFM system and, in addition to a number of sessions with representatives of the Treasury, also paid a visit to the Turkish Ministry of Development and the Grand National Assembly where additional aspects of long-term planning and budgetary processes were presented. The second group studied in depth the hosts’ experience in using information technologies for PFM. More specifically, the following aspects of automation of PFM activities were addressed:
a) Existing IT systems applied in PFM process;
b) Existing technological solutions for ensuring the functioning of IT systems in Turkey;
c) Familiarization with additional functionalities of IT system SGB.NET and identification of additional modules for their gradual implementation in Tajikistan;
d) Technical characteristics of IT system SGB.NET with regard to security of information and working capacity within the Ministry of Finance of Tajikistan;
e) IT systems integration and data exchanging procedures.
Besides the Tajik delegation, representatives of Albania, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Moldova thus gained valuable insight into Turkey’s experiences in reforming various dimensions of public finance management.
