The Reform of Ireland’s Public Sector Accounting

The Reform of Ireland’s Public Sector Accounting examines the key changes associated with the Irish Government’s planned public sector accounting reforms, including:
- the preparation of accrual accounting information compliant with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS);
- central government consolidated financial statements; and
- harmonising accounting practices across the Irish public sector.

Drawing on the views of representatives from government departments, agencies and advisory organisations/individuals, this Report concludes by recognising the ambition of the planned reforms and that they are a significant statement of intent by the Irish Government to modernise its public sector accounting practices.
