CONCEPT, REGULATIONS AND INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES OF IPSAS: A CRITICAL REVIEW

Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

Globalization spawns a historical revolution and inevitably influences the accounting sector. As a result, harmonization of national accounting systems meets with success under globalization. Accounting methods of local public sectors cannot be unaffected and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (henceforth IPSAS) have been brought in for a global adoption. This study depicts the significant nature of IPSAS, their general characteristics and meaning of them. Moreover, cash‐basis and accrual‐basis standards will be pointed out. Furthermore, this study will refer to some conceptual issues about IPSAS, as a form of dispute to some of their ideas and goals.
