Introduction

Abstract

This book brings together works by authors specialising in various aspects of the public sector. With so many changes happening with aspects of public sector accounting and governance, this seems an ideal time to reflect upon what is transpiring globally as well as locally in Australia and New Zealand (NZ). It integrates experiences of Australia and NZ in such a way as to conceptualise topics relevant to the western world. This book will consider not only what is happening in both these countries but will use their experiences to illuminate the global issues of public sector accounting, accountability and governance.
