To further enhance and promote the harmonization of public sector accounting standards and statistical reporting standards for the public sector.Contact: Gwenda Jensen
The main objective of the project is to identify any major difficulties that public sector entities have encountered in implementing the Cash Basis IPSAS Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting and determine whether the IPSAS should be modified or if further guidance should be provided by the IPSASB. As part of the review process, the IPSASB asked those who have been involved in the adoption of the Cash Basis IPSAS in developing economies to complete a questionnaire on their experiences with respect to implementation issues. These materials were also available in Spanish and French.
