Follow-up report

Public budgeting and accounting have been in a state of flux for some time now. At the state and municipal level in Europe, a conversion process from cameral accounting to double-entry bookkeeping is currently taking place. In Austria, too, this modernization poses challenges for the provinces and municipalities. With the new VRV, they are required to align their budgets with the new federal budget law. At the same time, the European Commission has launched the EPSAS project with the aim of creating standards for comparable public accounting in Europe on a commercial basis.

At the Administrative Management Day 2019, experiences in this area were exchanged and challenges and development paths were identified and discussed.
