Abstract
This assessment of public sector
accounting and auditing for Pakistan is generally meant to
help implement more effective public financial management
through better quality accounting and public audit processes
in Pakistan and to provide greater stimulus for more
cost-effective outcomes of government spending. More
specific objectives are (a) to provide the country's
accounting and audit authorities and other interested
stakeholders with a common, strongly-founded, knowledge as
to where local practices stand against the internationally
developed norms of financial reporting and auditing; (b) to
assess the prevailing variances; (c) to chart paths for
improving the accordance with international standards; and
(d) to provide a continuing basis for measuring improvements.
