Public Sector Accounting and Accountability in Australia

The second edition of Public Sector Accounting and Accountability in Australia is a comprehensive resource on public sector accountability for public service professionals, elected representatives, and students of the public sector. It serves as a broad, up-to-date guide on the practices and institutional arrangements of public sector accountability and the principles driving public sector reforms in Australia.

Like the first edition, it remains the authority on Australian public sector accounting and accountability. This new edition offers more critique of controversial or failed public sector reforms, highlighting the issues with applying private sector solutions to public sector problems. This examination is particularly relevant when emphasising the importance of public financial accountability, especially as states across the globe grapple with preserving their economies and the very fabric of their societies.
