IRSPM Conference 2023
Budapest, 3-5 April 2023
After two consecutive virtual conferences, we look back at yet another great experience in-person: the PSAAG’s Special Interest Group Panel on Accounting and Accountability at this year’s IRSPM Conference 2023 hosted 8 sessions with 32 intriguing paper presentations around the topic "Public value(s) accounting and accountability: management and governance in turbulent, post-truth times". In particular, we explored
-
How accounting impacts public officials, decisions and practices the impact of accounting on public officials, decisions and practices and the accompanying promotion of accountability
-
How accounting serves to identify and resolve problems in public service delivery while facilitating information sharing between government and citizens / How accountability serves to identify and resolve public value issues in public service delivery while facilitating information sharing between government and citizens
-
To what extent do accounting and accountability on the one hand and public values on the other influence each other?
-
What is the role of accounting and accountability in relation to a post-truth society and (changing) public values?
