IPSASB published revised guidance to transition from cash basis to accrual basis of accounting


The IPSASB released an updated and improved version of Study 14: Transiton to the Accrual Basis of Accounting: Guidance for Governments and Government Entities.

The third edition of Study 14 provides guidance on how to migrate to the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSASs), and is relevant to governments and other public sector entities, including international governmental organizations.

The latest edition of Study 14 covers all 31 IPSASs, including first-time coverage of the five IPSASs issued in late 2009 and early 2010: IPSAS 27, Agriculture; IPSAS 28, Financial Instruments: Presentation; IPSAS 29, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; IPSAS 30, Financial Instruments: Disclosures; and IPSAS 31, Intangible Assets. In light of the much increased global knowledge and experience in adopting IPSASs, the non-technical sections of Study 14 were also substantially improved. They now reflect the current state-of-the-art in adoption and implementation.

"This edition of Study 14 includes significant changes from the previous edition, and demonstrates the IPSASB’s commitment to support the global implementation of IPSASs," noted IPSASB Chair Andreas Bergmann.
