This workshop will focus on addressing II.15 and provide the skills to officials mainly from India's CGA to translate reporting data for India's budget central government (BCG) into the GFS framework. This will be achieved by delivering training on the main components of the GFS framework on revenue, expenditure and financing and then make comparisons with the current reporting standards for BCG.
