Many countries slow to change were under pressure from international financial organizations to quickly adopt new standards. Implementation of reforms involved re-engineering of underlying processes and use of advanced information technology and communication tools, often requiring external expertise and financing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Subra Ramamurthy, an international specialist in this field, has worked in approximately 25 countries. These range from Tanzania to Papua New Guinea to countries transitioning to market economies like Kazakhstan and Russia as well as the tumultuous Middle East, including Iraq and Palestine.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Setting aside fuzzy diplomatic-speak of international organizations, this finance management specialist provides a frank disclosure of challenges faced whilst bringing about reform in countries of diverse cultures, historical legacies, and civil service mindset.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He and his family faced stress and dangerous situations as his efforts discovered large-scale misappropriation of government funds and unauthorized diversions. However, he believes, these were balanced by the personal satisfaction of preparing reform roadmaps and witnessing their full implementation using the latest technology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Analytical and informative, this book is a frank expert account on the minefield of troubled economies. Peppered with personal anecdotes, it provides an insight into the successful achievement of fiscal system reforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Subra Ramamurthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684661943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684661947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press Media Pvt Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Subra Ramamurthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136858140927,"sku":"9781684661947","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45e31292-2218-4fbf-8b59-72df3fa8d57e.jpg?v=1770164939","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pursuing-financial-reforms-across-countries-subra-ramamurthy-9781684661947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
