Public Sector Accounting and Accountability in Australia
About this book
The second edition of Public Sector Accounting and Accountability in Australia is a comprehensive resource on public sector accountability for those who work in the public service, elected representatives and students of the public sector. It's a wide-ranging, up-to-date resource on the practices and institutional arrangements of public sector accountability and the principles that drive public sector reforms in Australia. Like the first edition, it is the authority on Australian public sector accounting and accountability. The book examines current practices and principles of accountability, the reasons behind them and the objectives of the recent reforms, which have transformed the Australian public sector. It considers the historical and constitutional context in which these practices developed, both in Britain and Australia.
