The Pacific
Islands Financial Managers' Association (PIFMA) has been established
following an inaugural conference of Pacific Island public financial management
practitioners, held in Suva in late March 2006. The conference unanimously
endorsed the establishment of a forum where the public financial management
policy and administration issues most relevant to Pacific Island Countries
(PICs) could be discussed, technical capacity developed and collaboration
promoted in progressing implementation of sound public financial management
(PFM) across the region.
