Course Overview

Governmental accounting has become increasingly important in modern societies due to its vital role in managing public finances, supporting financial policies, and enhancing government operations. Its significance has grown alongside the expansion of government services and activities, making financial reports and statements essential for planning, control, and performance evaluation. Traditionally based on the cash basis, governmental accounting has gradually shifted toward the accrual basis since the 1990s to improve transparency and align more closely with financial accounting practices. This development led to the adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) by many countries worldwide.
