FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING REFORM IN FLEMISH MUNICIPALITIES: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION

Article Abstract:

Local governments in Belgium have been obliged to supplement their accounting by an accural system in addition to cash-based budgeting since 1995. Municipalities in the Flemish area of Belgium have encountered problems in transferring from one system to the other. Management incentives, external influences, and tradition are some of the factors which have caused these problems in this transition.
