REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR CONSULTING SERVICES- SELECTION OF A CONSULTING COMPANY

Country: Republic of Tajikistan

Project: Additional Financing for the Public Finance Management Modernization Project II

Grant: D 750- TJ

Assignment title: Support to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Tajikistan in the application of the Public Sector Financial Reporting Standards (PSFRS) and the formation of consolidated financial statements on an accrual basis

Link no.: AF/PFMMPII/CQS-3/2022

One of the key elements of Tajikistan"s public finance reform is making the public sector accounting and reporting consistent with the international standards, such as the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and the Government Financial Statistics Manual 2001 (GFSM 2001). Improving the public sector accounting system is one of the components of the overall public finance reform in accordance with the Public Finance Management (PFM) Strategy for 2009 – 2018, adopted by the Government of Tajikistan on March 20, 2009.

In the process of developing the PFM Strategy under the support of the international donor community, a number of studies were conducted on the current financial reporting system in the public sector. A systematic comparison of these standards with cash basis and accrual basis IPSAS was conducted as well as current public sector accounting practice was reviewed. It was confirmed that like most CIS countries, Tajikistan uses modified accrual basis accounting inherited from the times of the Soviet Union. Taking into account the existence of well-known and accepted elements of accrual basis accounting, the main recommendation was a proposal to bring gradually the Tajikistan"s accounting standards in line with accrual basis IPSAS.
