Abstract

Formal adoption of the International Public Accounting Standards (IPSASs) by the African Union in year 2013 was strategic, after numerous successive seemingly ineffective public financial management reforms. These public financial management reforms made short term impact on effective public administration in the public sector. This study seeks to assess the impact of IPSASs on public administration in Africa. The methodology adopted for this study was mixed research methodology, through questionnaires and interviews to PAFA public accountants in practice throughout Africa. The study findings revealed that public financial management is the core of the public administration system, with IPSASs playing a very impactful pivotal role. IPSASs in the context of public financial management have proved to be a pivotal with measurable matrices for transparency and accountability which are useful for public administration decision making. 3
