Public Sector Accounting, Reporting, Auditing, and Control in Bosnia and Herzegovina—The Republic of Srpska
摘要
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the organisation of the Republic of Srpska as one of two entities in the Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its territorial structure, as well as concise insights on the formulation and execution of central government and local and regional self-government budgets, on accounting and financial reporting methodology, initiatives and frameworks of non-financial reporting and on audit and other oversight (supervision) practice. The chapter concludes with the notion of challenges and future development paths in public sector accounting and auditing in the Republic of Srpska (i.e. consistent application of IPSAS, consistent application of the GFS methodology and further strengthening of the role of the treasury system), given Bosnia and Herzegovina’s clear prospect of joining the EU, and its status of being a potential candidate country.
