"This book provides an up-to-date, in-depth reflection on the most important and recent evolutions in public sector accounting scholarship and practices, offering international, plural perspectives on the challenges facing accountants and accounting systems in the public sphere. This is a fundamental reading to appreciate the scale and variety of such challenges, ranging, among others, from the widening of the scope of accounting to encompass public value and sustainability, to the strengthening the roles of control system to support change as well as risk management, to the rethinking of auditing, or the search for stronger community engagement."
Ileana Steccolini, University of Essex and University of Bologna
