Description
Summary:International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) are developed by the International Public Sector Accounting Board (IPSAB) and aim to harmonize international accounting in the public sector. Although the adoption of IPSAS is considered a necessary condition for the harmonization of accounting systems in the public sector and for meeting the needs of transparency, comparability and completeness of financial information, the degree of adoption of these international standards is still quite low. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the IPSAS adoption process in terms of challenges, advantages and disadvantages.
