The German Institute of Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer, IDW) has prepared a fact sheet analysing the current state of harmonisation of European accounting in the public sector.
The paper IPSAS as a reference framework for EPSAS? describes the path towards common accounting principles and discusses the pros and cons of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) as a basis for European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS). The paper summarises the current state of the discussion, shows the development status in the individual countries and provides a forecast for 2025.
