Serbia - Public sector accounting review: report on the enhancement of public sector financial reporting

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.

The PULSAR team developed two infographics to support awareness raising activities of PULSAR member countries. The first visual tool focuses on the benefits arising from implementing accruals-based public sector accounting. The second one explains how the promotion of public sector accrual accounting based on international standards and good practice correlates with the twin development goals of the World Bank Group and contributes to development.
