IPSASB Welcomes Pathways to Accrual, Digital Platform to Support Public Sector Transition from Cash to Accrual

[News]

The International Public Accounting Standards Setting Board (IPSASB) welcomed the release of the new Pathways to Accrual, a digital platform with resources designed to help governments and other public sector entities planning and undertaking the transition from cash to accrual accounting including adopting and implementing International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The platform was developed by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) with content provided by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and feedback from IPSASB and other international stakeholders.  

With additional, easy to navigate digital content, Pathways to Accrual builds upon the IPSASB’s publication Study 14, Transition to the Accrual Basis of Accounting: Guidance for Governments and Government Entities. 

“There is significant accrual adoption and implementation activity underway across all regions of the world,” said Ian Carruthers, International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) Chair. “By 2025, 50% of the jurisdictions in the 2021 International Public Sector Accountability Index are forecast to report on accrual basis, and Pathways to Accrual will be instrumental in supporting both these transitions and the many others planned for subsequent years.”
