Mohammad Atikuzzaman FCA, Task Team Leader, WB presented an overview of Strengthening Financial Reporting Framework for Public Sector Entities. Suraiya Zannath Khan FCA, Lead Financial Management Specialist of WB also addressed in the programme.
Delivering his speech Comptroller and Auditor General Masud Ahmed said that it would take time to adopt the accounting and auditing standards by the government in public sector entities. However, the government feels that to bring equity in public wealth, transparency in decision making process & the best utilization of resources, the improvement in accounting and auditing systems in public sector is required. The concerned departments and ministries are arranging workshops and trainings on the relevant subject matter for the officials to make them update with knowledge and information. ICAB and OCAG are working towards this direction, he added. He appreciated WB’s initiative to introduce reporting framework for public sector entities.
Mohammad Muslim Chowdhury, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Finance, GoB highlighted the national budgetary mechanism, record keeping procedure, financial reporting, IFRS,
T
IAS, IPSAS and position of public sector in adopting these standards. He also highlighted the financial reporting practice in neighbouring countries. He categorically mentioned that for best practice for financial reporting, C&AG can take initiative to involve Chartered Accountants like other countries.
Suraiya Zannath Khan FCA, Lead Financial Management Specialist of WB mentioned that national financial reporting standards to be adopted in the public sector entities to ensure accountability. She particularly highlighted the transparency, accountability tools require to be introduced in public sector.
ICAB President Adeeb Hossain Khan FCA said that it is true our public sector does not face a fierce demand for information as the private sector does. But the wind of change is certainly felt in the public sector because of rising of literacy levels, economy growth, number of tax payers and tax revenues. Our decision makers must have this information to take decisions in the matters like budgetary allocation, he added.
The financial reporting framework for the private sector in Bangladesh is sufficiently comprehensive and satisfactorily documented, driven partly by demands of stakeholders, by global standards and by professionalism of standard setters. A framework for the public sector close to this or its equal is a long overdue, he further added.
World Bank Task Team Leader Mohammad Atikuzzaman FCA said Bangladesh Country- Assistance Strategy of the World Bank emphasized on effective and efficient use of public resources, strong accountability and fostering public-private partnership for better public service delivery. This also comes as the implementation of recommendations included in the report on ROSC-Accounting and
Auditing in the corporate sector, he stated.
The keynote paper presenter Burhanuddin Ahmed FCA said that a number of studies conducted by the World Bank between 2003 and 2010, have assessed the status of accounting and auditing in public sector with reference to international standards and best practices. The reports identified various gaps in the institutional and regulatory framework and made recommendations on these. He also said that the National Accounting System currently does not comply to any international accounting or financial reporting standards but follow the national procedures in terms of codes and presentation of accounts. However, the Government has decided to adopt International Public Sector Accounting Standards- Cash Basis (IPSAS Cash) as its accounting and financial reporting framework and is currently undergoing through step by step implementation process.
He also said that without an acceptable Financial Reporting Framework, management does not have an appropriate basis for the preparation of the financial statements and the auditor does not have suitable criteria for auditing the financial statements. Accounting and financial reporting standards under an FRF would remove variations in treatment of several accounting aspects and bring about standardization in preparation and presentation. These intend to harmonize the diverse accounting policies followed in preparation and presentation of financial statements by different reporting enterprises so as to facilitate intra-firm and inter-firm comparison.
A floor discussion was held at the last session of the workshop. Government’s senior officials, professional accountants and other dignified personalities participated in the discussion.

On behalf of the editorial Board, I would like to wish a warm 'Shuvo Noboborsho' to you all and hope an eventful, happy & prosperous year ahead. At the eve of Pohela Boishakh ICAB has stepped into a new era- it has joined the family of Facebook. ICAB has opened a Facebook page where people can know more about ICAB and can be up to date of its activities. Likewise Members can be also in touch with each other through the social media.

Accountancy Age Report
Indian Companies Making Important Contribution to UK economy, says Grant Thornton ReportGrant Thornton, in association with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), has published an annual report on Indian businesses operating in the UK. The report, India meets Britain Tracker 2017: The latest trends on Indian investment in the UK, shows that Indian companies are continuing to make important contributions to the UK economy.
The report showed that in 2016, approximately 800 Indian companies were operating in the UK, with recorded combined revenues of £47.5bn. The 55 fastest growing companies achieved an average annual growth rate of 31%, with
Datamatics Infotech Limited topping the list with a growth rate of 103%.
In congruence with previous years, companies from the Technology and Telecoms, and Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals sectors are most prominent, making up 31% and 24% of the list respectively. A new addition to the top three sectors is the business services sector, making up 11% of the list (compared with 6% in 2016).
The report showed that these Indian companies employ almost 110,000 individuals in the UK, and last year had a combined capital expenditure of £4.25bn. Shuchita Sonalika, director and head of CII UK, added: “The report identifies £4.25bn of new investment last year by the Indian companies, and further jobs being created as part of their continued investment programmes. Given that the report only tracks
companies set up as subsidiaries, not branches, we believe the employment numbers are even higher than 110,000.”
London continues to be at the hub of Indian investment in the UK, with 44% of the fastest-growing companies being based in the capital.
Patent Box Scheme Saves Businesses Record High of £875m in Corporation TaxLast year, the Patent Box scheme saved businesses £875m in corporation tax, up 17% from the previous year’s £750m.
Introduced by the government in 2013 to encourage more businesses to invest in research and development (R&D), the scheme allows UK businesses to pay only 10% corporation tax on profits derived from any UK or certain EU patents.

Members’ Conference on Cyber Security- An Overviewig data storage can protect the risk of cyber-attacks. Manager can get any sort of information from the
storage to predict the risk and take necessary measures or can design the software used in their business operation. The government is going to build a big data storage centre in the country at a cost of Tk 20 billion, which would be sixth largest in the world, is expected to be usable by the end of next year. Both government and private sectors would get access in the data storage.
As Chief Guest, Additional Secretary Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Ministry Harunur Rashid told these at a conference on ‘Cyber Security- An Overview’ organized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) at its auditorium on 25 April 2017. ICAB President Adeeb Hossain Khan FCA delivered welcome speech and moderated the session. Khondkar Atique-e-Rabbani FCA, Managing Director, The Computers Ltd. presented the keynote paper. ICAB Vice President Mostafa Kamal FCA delivered vote of thanks at the end of the programme
Mr. Rashid said the government will set up the data centre in Dhaka and the backup centre in Jessore. The private
data could be stored in the data centre in exchange of charges. He also urged the businessmen to use digital signature for their financial transactions. A digital security law will be passed very soon to ensure stronger cyber security, the Addl. Secretary said.
Adeeb Hossain Khan, President of ICAB, said Bangladeshi experts will be working on cyber security. One upon a time, such opportunities used to go to foreign countries. Now Bangladesh is getting ready to do it,’ he added.
Citing example of Bangladesh Bank came under cyber-attack in February 2016, the keynote speaker said Cyber criminals may not give a manager a second chance to prevent the resources. He said that vulnerability issue spreads over the whole spectrum
– hardware, devices, software, networks, personnel, site, organization, etc. For example, most vulnerabilities discovered in IPv4 protocol software were discovered in the new IPv6 implementations. Cyber criminals use financial malware such as Carbanak, Dyre, Dridex, Rovnix and Shifu to steal funds directly from victims’ bank accounts. Vulnerabilities arise because there are some undiscovered flaws in the system. Attacker always finds about the flaw. A comprehensive security strategy is required to support economic growth, protect critical infrastructure and its citizens-according to the key-note paper.
Vice presidents, council members and distinguished members were present in the conference.
