Governance and public sector reforms in Asia: Paradigms, paradoxes and dilemmas
This paper aims to examine the role of management accounting practices and the factors affecting the implementation of these practices within public sector in developing countries. This paper analyses current and previous studies of management accounting techniques and the New Public Management (NPM) in the developing countries of the public sector in general and local government in particular. The findings suggest that management accounting practices within public sector in local governments of developing countries raise three main issues. These issues are budget and planning preparation, budgetary control and performance evaluation. This paper also found that there are factors that have direct bearing on the application of accounting generally and the application of management accounting techniques in public sector.
