| Summary: | The government’s public financial
management (PFM) Reform Program 2016-2020 foresees the
gradual transition of public sector financial reporting from
a cash basis to an accrual basis of accounting and the
application of International Public Sector Accounting
Standards (IPSAS). This will significantly improve the
quality of financial information and should enable better
informed decision-making, more efficient use of public funds
and resources and improved fiscal performance. This Report
on the Enhancement of Public Sector Financial Reporting is
one output of the Serbia Public Sector Accounting Reform
Technical Assistance project funded by the Swiss State
Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) through the
Strengthening Accountability and Fiduciary Environment
(SAFE) Trust Fund under the Public Sector Accounting and
Reporting Program (PULSAR) which provides support for the
development and implementation of public sector accounting
standards. This report supports the development of a plan
towards that goal by assessing the institutional framework
for public sector accounting as well as the gap between
Serbian public sector generally accepted accounting
principles (PS GAAP) and IPSAS. |
