Exit From Kabul

Syed Bilal Hashmi ACCA made the difficult decision to leave Afghanistan in December 2021, uprooting his family to seek a new life in Ireland. As the deputy auditor general of Afghanistan, he had dedicated over 12 years to his career, but the circumstances under Taliban rule made it impossible for him to stay.

When Kabul fell, Hashmi initially tried to continue his work but soon realized he had to leave for the sake of his family. They departed without saying goodbye, carrying only a few belongings. Their journey took them to Dubai, where they lived in a refugee camp for 11 months before finally settling in Ireland. Thanks to the support from ACCA, Hashmi was able to secure a position as an audit senior at Dillon Kelly Cregan, a Dublin-based accountancy firm.

Ireland offered a fresh start with strong education and healthcare systems for his children. Hashmi’s wife played a crucial role in easing their transition, teaching their children English, and helping them adapt to their new environment. His children are now in school, with one even launching a YouTube channel.

Hashmi’s professional journey began in Kabul in 2009, working for Zia Massoud. He later became CFO of Kabul Bank, which was under receivership, before moving to Malaysia to complete his ACCA qualification. Upon returning to Afghanistan, he took on leadership roles, including deputy head of CPA Afghanistan, contributing to the advancement of the accounting profession in the country. Under his leadership, Afghanistan’s first accountancy law was passed, a bachelor’s degree program in accounting was launched at Kabul University, and international recognition was achieved through ACCA’s support.

His work was not just a profession but a mission to fight corruption and bring transparency to Afghanistan. While many of his former colleagues have been evacuated, some remain in Kabul, making communication difficult.

Mohammad Aman Ahmadi, who met Hashmi multiple times at ACCA events held at Kabul Intercontinental Hotel and the Ministry of Finance, speaks highly of his professionalism and ethical conduct. Hashmi’s dedication to the accounting profession and his strong moral compass were evident in every interaction.

Despite the new opportunities in Ireland, Hashmi still hopes to return to Afghanistan if conditions improve, continuing his mission to strengthen the country’s financial and auditing institutions. For now, he is focused on building his career and supporting his family in their new home.

Importance of Financial Policies

Financial policies play a crucial role in the effective management of any organization, whether it’s a corporation, a nonprofit, or a governmental entity. These policies serve as a framework for financial decision-making, ensuring that an organization’s financial resources are managed efficiently, transparently, and in alignment with its objectives.

1. Ensuring Financial Stability
Financial policies provide guidelines to maintain cash flow, reduce unnecessary expenditures, and allocate resources efficiently. This ensures the organization remains solvent and stable, even during economic challenges.
2. Promoting Accountability and Transparency
By establishing clear financial procedures, policies promote accountability among staff and management. Transparency in financial transactions fosters trust among stakeholders, including investors, donors, and regulatory bodies.
3. Facilitating Compliance
Strong financial policies ensure adherence to local and international regulations, tax laws, and industry standards, reducing the risk of legal penalties and enhancing the organization’s reputation.
4. Supporting Strategic Planning
These policies align financial practices with the organization’s strategic goals, enabling informed decision-making for long-term growth and sustainability.
5. Risk Management
Financial policies help identify, assess, and mitigate risks, such as fraud, mismanagement of funds, or fluctuations in revenue. This minimizes financial vulnerabilities and ensures the organization’s resilience.
6. Guiding Financial Reporting
Policies establish standards for preparing accurate and timely financial reports, which are essential for internal monitoring and external audits.
7. Enhancing Operational Efficiency
By standardizing processes such as budgeting, procurement, and expense management, financial policies eliminate inefficiencies and foster better resource utilization.
8. Building Stakeholder Confidence
Stakeholders, including investors, donors, and employees, are more likely to support an organization that demonstrates sound financial management practices.
Developing, implementing, and regularly updating financial policies is critical for any organization’s success. Such policies provide a roadmap for navigating financial challenges and capitalizing on opportunities while maintaining ethical and responsible financial practices.

1. Banking and Financial Services

  • Why: High regulatory oversight, risk of fraud, and the critical role in managing public funds.
  • Key Policies Needed: Credit risk management, liquidity policies, anti-money laundering (AML), and capital adequacy frameworks.

2. Healthcare

  • Why: Involves complex billing systems, high operational costs, and strict regulatory compliance.
  • Key Policies Needed: Revenue cycle management, cost control, insurance claims, and patient billing transparency.

3. Nonprofits and Charities

  • Why: Dependence on donor funding and the need for transparency and accountability.
  • Key Policies Needed: Fund allocation, donation tracking, grant compliance, and fraud prevention.

4. Government and Public Sector

  • Why: High accountability to taxpayers and strict compliance with public fund regulations.
  • Key Policies Needed: Budgetary controls, procurement policies, asset management, and auditing frameworks.

5. Education (Schools, Universities)

  • Why: Reliance on tuition fees, grants, and government funding with long-term investment needs.
  • Key Policies Needed: Tuition fee management, scholarship funding, endowment policies, and expense tracking.

6. Construction and Real Estate

  • Why: Large capital projects and high exposure to financial risks like cost overruns.
  • Key Policies Needed: Project budgeting, vendor payments, loan management, and contract compliance.

7. Manufacturing and Supply Chain

  • Why: High upfront costs, inventory management, and complex supplier relationships.
  • Key Policies Needed: Cost accounting, supply chain financing, inventory valuation, and capital expenditure controls.

8. Retail and E-commerce

  • Why: Thin profit margins, dynamic pricing, and high transaction volumes.
  • Key Policies Needed: Sales reporting, discount and return policies, inventory turnover, and fraud prevention.

9. Energy and Utilities

  • Why: Long-term projects, high capital costs, and regulatory scrutiny.
  • Key Policies Needed: Pricing policies, cost recovery mechanisms, and sustainability funding.

10. Technology and Software

  • Why: Dynamic market conditions and complex revenue models like subscriptions.
  • Key Policies Needed: Revenue recognition, intellectual property valuation, and R&D funding.

11. Hospitality and Tourism

  • Why: Seasonal revenue fluctuations and reliance on customer satisfaction.
  • Key Policies Needed: Pricing strategies, expense management, and reservation and cancellation policies.

Conclusion:

While all industries benefit from financial policies, those with high financial complexity, regulatory oversight, or risk exposure (like banking, healthcare, and government) must prioritize developing comprehensive and tailored financial policies. These policies not only protect the organization but also build trust with stakeholders.

Afghanistan’s Economic Decline Continues but Private Sector Can Support Growth, Says World Bank

WASHINGTON, May 2, 2024—Afghanistan’s economic outlook remains uncertain, with the threat of stagnation looming large until at least 2025, says the World Bank in its latest Afghanistan Development Update.

The report, Navigating Challenges: Confronting Economic Recession and Deflationnotes that a 26 percent contraction in real GDP growth, coupled with declining external financing avenues for off-budget expenditures, paints a stark picture of Afghanistan’s economic prospects. Structural deficiencies in the private sector, together with waning international support for essential services, are anticipated to impede any appreciable economic progress. This economic stagnation is poised to deepen poverty and unemployment where half of the population is already trapped in poverty, and 15 million people are facing food insecurity.

“Afghanistan’s long-term growth prospects depend on a significant shift from its previous reliance on consumption-driven growth and international aid to a more resilient, private sector-led economy that capitalizes on the country’s strengths,” said Melinda Good, World Bank Country Director for Afghanistan“For a sustainable future, Afghanistan needs to address harmful gender policies, invest in health and education, and focus on the comparative advantages it has in the agricultural and extractive sectors.”

Agriculture could be a key driver of growth and poverty reduction, with the potential to create jobs and have a positive impact on income distribution. To realize this potential, strategic investments are needed in irrigation infrastructure, land tenure security, and market access to boost agricultural productivity and resilience.

The Afghanistan Development Update is part of the World Bank’s Afghanistan Futures program, which includes research, monitoring, and analytical reports on the Afghan economy and society. The program aims to support evidence-based policymaking and inform the international community on the economic developments in Afghanistan.
