This study aims to provide a holistic approach of the European Union (EU) fiscal and financial reporting systems by assessing them through European System of National Accounts (ESA 2010) and International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) reference, both having the accrual basis as benchmark of governmental accounting. The empirical research performed by combining the cluster analysis with the multidimensional scaling technique enables us to map all EU member states and emphasize potential connections between their fiscal and financial systems, thus providing a visual image of the two facets of public accounting. The results reveal a wide and strong interest in sound reporting able to improve transparency through performance management systems. These support European Public Sector Accounting Standards project aimed to adjust inaccuracies between IPSAS and ESA 2010 and finally to enhance good governance and create a positive environment by facilitating transparency and comparability.

The harmonization and modernization of the accounting system in the public sector are present both at international and European level. The main objectives of the IPSAS (International Standards on Public Accounting) referencing refer to supporting the process of accounting harmonization, increasing comparability, but also improving the transparency of public disclosure of information. Applying these standards is not obligatory, but only recommended. The adoption of IPSAS has many barriers or criticisms of the proximity to private sector standards, the interest shown by states in maintaining their control and sovereignty, the costs and training that this adoption would entail, as well as the IPSASB governance concerns. The proximity to private sector standards generates IPSAS incompleteness with respect to specific public sector needs such as taxation or social benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A broad debate about the harmonization of public sector accounting standards in Europe is underway. The authors provide arguments in favour of harmonization, but they also acknowledge the existing pluralism and diversity by taking stock of the state of play in 14 European countries. The paper makes a proposal for a way forward for policy-makers and standard-setters, in which the benefits of harmonization can be obtained without obliging EU member countries to necessarily abandon their current public sector accounting systems.

This paper analyses the process that led the European Commission to the decision to develop European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS) for harmonizing public sector accounting practices within the European Union. The paper finds that there was limited scope in terms of stakeholder participation in the public consultation that served as a basis for the decision. In addition, the decision to adopt EPSAS for EU member states raises questions on the relationship between regional and global governance in the area of public sector accounting.

The process is viewed through the lens of the ‘garbage can’ model, informed by interviews, informal discussions and archival data. Findings indicate a lack of effective monitoring of the process by politicians and external lenders (the ‘Troika’), and an outcome that favoured the bureaucrats and consultants involved.

State and local governments' external financial reports contain important information for the citizenry and government stakeholders. However, unless information in those reports is readily consumable, public trust may erode. It is important that public administrators understand and effectively communicate results from these reports, skills that are embodied in the universal required competencies established by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration. This article is designed to be a resource for teaching external financial reporting in these programs. We first provide a graphical depiction of the external financial reporting model as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and discuss key elements of it. We then discuss the production and uses of these reports. These discussions should help future public administrators understand the mechanics of reporting and the challenges related to the production and use of these reports. Such understanding should facilitate the communication of these reports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent years have witnessed a spate of new numbers, some of them contradictory, about the funding status of state and local government pension plans. Why do pension plans look better funded according to some numbers and worse according to others? Rather than being more or less accurate than one another, each set of numbers emphasizes different aspects of pension finances with potential value to analysts. This article explains how pension numbers are calculated by financial economists and rating agencies, under the old as well as the new pension accounting standards, and it highlights the valuable insights that can be gleaned from each.

Indonesian state financial policies have undergone major changes since the release the Law on State Finance package in 2003 and 2004 as well as the Law on Local Government Package of 2004. The legislation has been set up clearly financial management with a transparent and accountable as well as the financial management in the region from President to the Regional Head. This implies a stronger role of the Regional Head in implementing the financial policy in the local government. The financial policy communication to local governments are often disruption whereby the policy is not communicated clearly and consistently.

In adequately of the financial policy's communication about implementation of government accounting standards accrual-based policy from the central government to the local government can be overcome by the attitude of the Regional Head avoiding uncertainty (uncertainty avoidance) and has a vision for the future (confucian dynamism) so to encourage the attitude of the staff at the local government and also encourage the emergence of support from external parties to support the implementation of the financial policy of the country.

Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34 has been in effect for a decade yet there is limited research examining government-wide financial reporting data. This study builds on our ability to delve into the fiscal condition of Wisconsin counties during the Great Recession. The principal aims of the research are: (1) expand on works utilizing GASB 34 reporting requirements; (2) report on county administrators perceptions of fiscal condition; and (3) examine the relationship between subjective and objective measures of fiscal condition. We find little evidence that objective fiscal condition indices are related to subjective administrative assessments of fiscal condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SYNOPSIS: The Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 34, creating a new accrual-based financial reporting model. This study examines whether information from this model is associated with the default risk (a proxy for fiscal distress) of municipal governments and whether this information is incremental to that provided by the fund-based, modified-accrual reporting model. Ordered logistic regressions are used to analyze financial data from 2005 for a sample of 409 municipalities that participated in the Government Finance Officers Association award program. This study extends the work of Plummer et al. (2007) to municipal governments. In addition to the financial position indicator variable (total net assets/total revenues) examined by Plummer et al. (2007), this study provides evidence of the relevance of three other financial indicators (change in net assets/total net assets; total liabilities/total assets; and current assets/ current liabilities). We also find that these accrual-based indicators provide information incremental to the fund-based model and that one fund-based measure (total fund balances/total fund revenues) also provides information incremental to the accrual indicator. These results are consistent with perceptions of regulators and others who expect accrual accounting to be a better measure of the economic costs of running a government than the traditional fund-based model.
