Critical Appraisal Of Public Sector Accounting With Respect To Accountability And Transparency (A Case Study Of Selected Government Ministries And Parastatals)
ABSTRACT
In recent years, particularly in
the developing countries, the public sector has grown rapidly to become a major
participant in the economy, filling a crucial gap in the provision of social
services left out by individuals and private sector. If well managed, the
public sector has the potential to contribute positively to the Nigerian
economy, improve the level of social services delivery and uplift the living
standard of the population. But many are uncertain as to what constitute the
public sector as various terminologies have been used to describe them. The
simplest definition of the public sector is that the public sector is all
organizations, which are not privately owned and operated but which are
operated or established by government on behalf of the people. Today, the
Nigerian Nation like many other African countries is going through
developmental challenges not for lack of human and natural resources but due
largely in part to lack of commitment by some of its leaders to the ideals of
Accountability, transparency and probity in the management of public goods.
Incidentally, these virtues have over the years influenced the development of
the public sector Accounting.
