Abstract

Having a longitudinal approach of the Romanian public accounting system’s evolution, this historical study proposes the development of a framework in order to assess in a descriptive manner the change of public accounting and its implications for Romania, a European emerging country. The evolution from cash accounting to accrual accounting took place during three time periods within the timeframe 1991–2015. For each of these time periods we investigated influential factors such as period, place, people, practices, propagation, products, and profession. The study shows that under the influence of the international managerial public reform and the internal factors analysed, the public accounting system shifts from the old values of the post-communist period to new reference bases such as International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The results of the study place Romania, an East European country, on the map of international public sector accounting systems as a relatively new arrival but with serious intentions of integration.
