Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This edited volume provides a much-needed complement to similar, recent volumes exploring topical issues in public sector accounting, auditing and governance. It has a broad scope in terms of the topics covered, theories applied and geographical representation. The chapters are all written by established public sector accounting scholars and cover a range of burning issues that require attention from practitioners, policy-makers and researchers."

Sven Modell, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester

"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

"Routledge Handbooks are marvelous assemblies of scholarship in a specialised field. I welcome this Handbook of Public Sector Accounting. The Handbook contains a smorgasbord of coverage by well-known scholars on public sector accounting. Also, the coverage is global, with contributions covering various regions, nation-states, and sectors. The Handbook highlights contemporary issues in public sector accounting, auditing and accountability."

Emeritus Professor James Guthrie, Member of the Order (AM), Macquarie Business School, Australia
