The Government of Punjab, Pakistan, has undergone a significant digital transformation in public financial management (PFM) through the implementation of the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS). Prior to IFMS, the province struggled with a fragmented, paper-based, and opaque system plagued by delays, ghost employees, and misappropriation of funds.
