Public Accountants Certification Training in Montenegro

THE JOURNEY
OF LOCALIZATION
Sharing its experience in becoming a regional knowledge
hub, the CEF supports constituent institutions in developing
their organizational knowledge sharing capacity and strategic
human resources development.
Sustainability of the certification training is crucial for the
successful implementation of PFM reforms, so the Ministry
of Finance of Montenegro committed to develop systems and
processes and ensure resources and infrastructure to fully run
the program locally, on their own.
One of these resources was the Localization Working Group,
composed of experts in accounting, representatives of the
Ministry, the takeover institution - HRMA, and the CEF. The
main goal of the localization process has been to enable the
environment for full localization: adjusting local legislation,
strengthening the relationship between the Ministry and the
takeover institution, and preparing the takeover institution for
independent work.
After analyzing the training needs, deciding among the options
for localization, making legislative changes to support local
recognition of the PACT certificate, drafting a manual for
implementation, and establishing a group of trained tutors,
the grounds for the delivery of localized training are ready.
