Lessons learned from the sovereign debt crisis and the increasing pressure on governments and public sector organisations to better manage public resources have made a global case for action, highlighting the need for more transparent, consistent and globally comparable financial reporting in the public sector. IPSAS are being adopted by a large number of public sector entities all over the world.
International organisations have been at the forefront of the move towards IPSAS, but the trend is also clear for governments — with an increasing number adopting accrual accounting practices with IPSAS serving as a reference point. In Europe, the European Commission is conducting a project to develop European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS) with IPSAS also used as a reference. The IPSASB has issued 32 accrual-basis accounting standards and one cash basis accounting standard, and continues its work programme with the objective to finalise a comprehensive set of high-quality standards that meet the needs of public sector entities worldwide.
