Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The aim of the article is research of the institutional environment of public finance and its components in the light of achievements of foreign and domestic economic science. Methodology of research. The following general and special methods are used to achieve this goal: comparative analysis – in assessing alternative approaches to the interpretation of the concept of institution; method of scientific abstraction – in highlighting the essential features of financial institutions and their differences from fiscal institutions; systemic, structural analysis, grouping – in identifying the components of the institutional environment of public finance and structural features of the public sector. Findings. Alternative approaches of institutional theory to the interpretation of the concept of institution are considered. A compromise application the interpretation of institutions in the approaches of D. North and O. Williamson to the sphere of public finance has been made. The components of the institutional environment of public finance are distinguished: institutions (norms, rules), institutional units (organizations, structures), transactions (interaction, relations). The institutional structure of the public sector is considered. The principle of “presumption of inefficiency” as a key one in the institutional analysis of the sphere of public finance is outlined. Originality. The paper substantiates the components of the institutional environment of public finance by clearly outlining the semantic use of the terms “institution” and “institutions” in relation to this area. Practical value. The approaches to the interpretation of the concepts “financial institutions”, “institutional environment”, “public sector” proposed in the research, will contribute to the development of a unified approach in the domestic institutional theory. Key words: public finance, financial institutions, fiscal institutions, institutional environment, institutional units, public sector, transactions.

Full textAbstract:
Despite successive attempts to effectively manage Nigeria’s downstream oil sector by strengthening the country’s institutional capacity, the Nigerian public institutions remain ineffective, inefficient, wasteful, incapacitated, inept, unprofessional and uninspired to drive the reform in the downstream oil sector. Public institutions have failed to successively oversee management of the downstream oil sector. This paper draws on the new public management theory and unstructured interviews to assess the role of public institutions in the distribution and marketing segments of the oil sector. It concludes that poor public sector performance is responsible for the crisis in the oil industry that led to subsidy cuts and efforts to deregulate the downstream oil sector.

Full textAbstract:
Special education institutions are providing services to meet the unique needs of special students. Internal efficacy of any institution determines its effectiveness in terms of its outcomes. The current study was designed to explore the internal efficacy of special education institutions. The population of the study comprised of teachers teaching in the special education institution of the Lahore city. Sample of the study consisted of 200 teachers randomly selected from public and private sector special education institutions, currently performing their duties in the Lahore city. The study was quantitative in its nature conducting with descriptive research design. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect the data from the teachers after getting permission from its author. Initially, the questionnaire was piloted on a small number of participants to ensure its reliability. That was confirmed through Cronbach alpha (.750). After ensuring ethical considerations, researchers collected data by themselves from the teachers. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Results of independent sample t-test show the statistically significant difference between the public and private sector institutions’ internal efficacy. The internal efficacy of public sector special education institutions was better as compared to private sector special education institutions. Majority of the special education teachers serving in public sector institutes ranked the institutional communication, working environment, quality of education and professional support as major determined of internal efficacy of their institutions. The study has recommended that the private sector special education institutions need to enhance their internal efficacy.

Full textAbstract:
This study synthesizes and tests explanations of how public sector size and democracy affect income inequality. The results, based on unbalanced panel data for 64 developing and developed countries and a total of 341 observations from 1970 to 1994, show that a strong interaction between democracy and public sector development explains withincountry income inequality. Public sector expansion translates into worse distributional outcomes in nondemocracies or limited democracies because the state is more inclined to support the development of particular core industries or client populations in urban formal sectors through targeted taxation or transfer systems. On the other hand, the larger public sector size leads to better distributional outcomes in fully institutionalized democracies because the democratic political mechanisms enable the state institutions to be more responsive to the demands of lower classes and more committed to achieving better distributional outcomes. This study demonstrates that democracy is associated with inequality as an institutional background that converts the effects of public sector size on inequality from positive to negative by strengthening the hegemony of equity orientation within state institutions.

Full textAbstract:
In order to implement strategic planning institutions confront with a great number of problems the basic of which is the choice of methodological approach. In this article particularity of strategic management approaches within institutions is revealed. Special literature does not provide clear methodological recommendations for strategic planning of institutions. Opinions of strategic management commentators are more polemic than recommendations. In the literature two essential approaches to strategic planning are provided, i.e. prescriptive and emergent. Fulfilled researches create preconditions to specify and systematize essential characteristics of approaches. Prescriptive strategic planning can be defined by sufficient foresight of future, systemic complexity, necessary definition, large possibilities of formalization, one‐sided adaptation of strategic decisions with organizational structure, petty stimulation of initiative, stable consistency of planning steps. Emergent strategic planning can be defined by petty foresight of future, fragmentary complexity, weak definition, limited formalization, double‐sided adaptation of strategic decisions with organizational structure, large creativity, unstable sequence of planning steps. This characteristics are being handled as assumptions. According to the prescriptive approach they are favorable for preparing decisions, which are oriented to increase opportunities of institution strategic accordance with its environment demands. According to the emergent approach ‐ they are favorable for preparing decisions which are oriented to emerge institution potential for opportunities used. With regard to inside and external environment factors of institution which predetermine the choice of methodology, the regularities of coherency of factors and methodologies which are suggested to apply for integral combination of approaches in specific institutions situation are defined.

Full textAbstract:
The Brazil and Mexico started their International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) IPSAS adoption strategies in 2008 and consider the importance of the accountant role in this process and the existence of specific undergraduate Accounting programmes in the two countries. This study aims to compare the offer of courses about public sector accounting in public institutions of higher education in these countries during year 2018 & 2019, under Institutional Theory perspective. The methodology of this article consists of a documentary analysis of the curricula in force of website of the Public Institutions of Higher Education (PIHE) of each federative entity of Brazil and Mexico. The results show great diversity in the offer of disciplines among the 76 Brazilian and in the 39 Mexican institutions, with an average of only 3 and 1,3 courses by each country respectively. In Brazil, every institution has at least one mandatory Public Sector Accounting discipline, whilst only 28 Mexican institutions offer as obligatory. If institutional legitimacy consider education in Mexican and Brazilian IPSAS adoption strategies, the diffusion of IPSAS accrual accounting information will account for a huge network of more than 1000 of people involved. Furthermore, it highlights the weakness of the public sector approach to develop professional skills (normative isomorphism) in line with emerging trends in Public Sector Accounting for transparency. This article contributes to show what has been considered from the perspective of higher education of future public sector accounting professionals aligned with the IPSAS adoption strategies that involve Brazil and Mexico.

Full textAbstract:
Digitally Enabled Service Transformation (DEST) in the Public Sector (PS) offers a unique opportunity for public administration (PA) and information systems (IS) disciplines to interlace. Albeit complicating the deployment of a coherent analytical lens in its study, such uniqueness has formed a basis to enable a deviance in the theoretical selection. Interestingly, there has been a gradual move from the adoption of native PA/IS theories towards imported social sciences theories including Institutional and Structuration. Institutional Theory provides a way of viewing and explaining why and how institutions emerge in a certain way within a given context. The theory however is being criticized for its structural biasness, as it avoids explanations situated at individual or same level of analysis. Such gap is filled with the adoption of Structuration Theory, which also focuses on how structures - as micro-institutional foundation, arise, or are maintained through co-evolution of actions and institutions. The fusion of concepts from both theories would potentially maximise the debates on DEST in PS across diverse perspectives, and continue to keep the ‘research talking' by revealing novel insights.

Full textAbstract:
Level of compliance of Costa Rican public institutions in the elaboration and implementation of Institutional Environmental Management Programs. In Costa Rica, the State is one of the largest buyers and its potential impacts on the environment from resource consumption, waste generation and emissions are considerable. Every Costa Rican public institution is required by MINAE Executive Decree No. 36499 (issued in 2011) to develop and implement an Institutional Environmental Management Program (IEMP) to mitigate and control the impacts resulting from their organizational work. The aim of this study was to analyze the level of compliance of Costa Rican public sector institutions in the elaboration and implementation of the IEMP. Available records were consulted at the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE), dividing the institutions into 4 categories: a) ministries; b) decentralized public sector institutions; c) decentralized territorial public sector; and d) other. An on-site assessment tool was then applied in 44 institutions, to determine the level of implementation. As of March 2013, 36.24% of public institutions had submitted an IEMP, with ministries scoring highest on compliance (83.3%). A higher level of implementation was identified for: adoption of an environmental policy, formalization of committees in charge of environmental management work, and systematization of consumption records. There is a need to strengthen staff training and awareness, along with internal disclosure of the IEMP, and incorporation of environmental criteria into the procurement of goods and services, among others. The mean score for the institutions was 70.16 (on a scale of 0 - 100). No significant difference was found between the categories of institutions (t-Student; p = 0.684). The lack of clarity in the application of punitive mechanisms, the low environmental commitment in many institutions and the lack of resources (human and financial) allocated to environmental actions could be affecting compliance with the decree.

Full textAbstract:
Portuguese higher education can be characterised as a mass system, as the total gross participation rate in universities and polytechnics, public and private, is over 50 per cent. Recently, under the simultaneous pressure of demographic decreasing of the population potentially involved with higher education and financial stringency, higher education institutions, both public and private, have started to compete for students, while responding to an increasing social demand for more diversified higher education. The government and higher education institutions are being challenged to widen access to higher education to improve the country's educational and economic performance, with the objective of attracting new publics and students from a broader range of social backgrounds. In the public sector, the competition for students is being mainly felt in the polytechnic sector, but it is in the private sector, both universities and polytechnics, that the need to recruit more students is felt more intensely. The Portuguese government, allegedly to enhance the equality of opportunities in the access to higher education and to attract new publics, has recently broadened the area of recruitment of the special contingent of adult students who have not completed secondary education courses, by lowering the qualification age from 25 years to 23 years old, and has completely deregulated the system by allocating to each institution the responsibility for the selection of adult students. This paper intends, firstly, to contextualise this governmental action in the framework of the access policies, that, since the beginning of the 2000s, can be characterised as offering not only ‘more’ higher education but also ‘more diverse’ higher education; secondly, to identify the strategies that Portuguese higher education institutions are deploying to meet institutional needs (meaning institutions’ own good) and the political goals assigned by the government; finally, to identify differences of institutional reactions according to their public or private nature and university or polytechnic identity.

Full textAbstract:
The current state of the Russian economy is characterized by the economic entities’ unstable financial position. Under the influence of various internal and external factors, an entity may not have the opportunities to repay its current payables, i.e. to be financially insolvent. In recent years, it has become increasingly obvious that insolvency can be found not only in commercial organizations, but also institutions operating in the public sector of the economy, and seemingly protected by fairly stable sources of financing. The purpose of the work is to study the manifestation specifics of the public sector organizations’ financial insolvency. The paper uses the methods of theoretical research (abstraction, analysis and synthesis, mental modeling), as well as the methods of empirical research (observation, comparison, measurement). Based on the study of scientific papers published by Russian economists, alternative approaches to the concept of “bankruptcy” that take place in Russian science are analyzed; the nature of this phenomenon is studied. The article describes the types of bankruptcy of the organization, as provided by the system of normative regulation of the state, and defined by the researchers of bankruptcy as an economic phenomenon. The authors carried out a comparative analysis of the economic conditions of bankruptcy procedures of financial insolvency recognition for commercial organizations and public sector organizations. The relationship between the concepts of “financial insolvency” and “inefficiency” of a public (municipal) institution is revealed. The influence of the legal status of the institution (state, budget, autonomous) on the decision-making procedure for its liquidation is revealed. Possible reasons for initiation of a public (municipal) institution liquidation by state bodies are indicated. The main (key) stages of the public (municipal) institution liquidation procedure are determined. The current problems of legislation application on insolvency (bankruptcy) in relation to public (municipal) institutions are revealed. The measures for their elimination are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years in Australia, accounting regulations have been developed that require the adoption of commercial accounting and reporting practices by public‐sector organisations, including the recognition of cultural, heritage and scientific collections as assets by non‐profit cultural organisations. The regulations inappropriately apply traditional accounting concepts of accountability and performance, notwithstanding that the primary objectives of many of the organisations affected are not financial. This study examines how this was able to occur within the ideas outlined in Douglas’s (1986) How Institutions Think. The study provides evidence to demonstrate that the development; promotion, and defense of the detailed accounting regulations were each constrained by institutional thinking and, as a result, only certain questions were asked and many problems and issues associated with the regulations were not addressed. Thus, it seeks to further our understanding of the nature and limits of change in accounting and the role of institutions in promoting and defending changes to accounting practice.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the status of planning within the various types of higher education institutions in Portugal. Higher education in Portugal is a binary system with university and non- university sectors. The university sector integrates public and private universities and the Catholic university. The nonuniversity sector integrates public polytechnic institutes and other establishments, the latter being private institutions. A survey methodology was used to measure perceptions from rectors and presidents within the entire system. Results suggest that institutional planning in Portuguese higher education is in its beginning phases, but there is a desire to expand that participation. While public institutions appear to be most active in attempting to establish such a process, many are doing less than strategic planning. The authors report details of the findings and make recommendations for advancing strategic planning within the system of Portuguese higher education.

As one of the most serious frauds in many public sector institutions, corruption has been viewed as the 'public enemy’ for the last two decades in Indonesia. Many anti-fraud programs have been attempted to counter these corrupt activities. However, to what extent the programs are successful to bring the Indonesian public sectors to become ‘a clean institution’, has not been known yet. Therefore, by applying the OECD Integrity Management System as a framework and semi-structured interviews, this study provides an empirical studyat a strategic public institution. This study also attempts to analyse some factors that have become challenges in many anti-fraud programs for public sector in many developing countries like Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
The article critically examines the possibilities of using steadily developing artificial intelligence systems in the public sector of foreign countries and Russia. It is noted that despite the prospects of obtaining significant gains, there are a number of technical, economic and socio-ethical limitations associated with the introduction of artificial intelligence, taking into account its features as a general purpose technology. The increasing value of professional judgment, which allows using the results of artificial intelligence, is emphasized. Based on the principles of working with artificial intelligence developed in world practice, as well as the peculiarities of the domestic institutional structure and trust in it by the citizens, a conclusion is made about the need for a cautious approach to the use of artificial intelligence technologies in applications of the Russian public sector. Such practices can not only cause considerable harm to specific individuals in the process of current functioning of domestic institutions, but also hinder their transformation.

Changing forms of state and local government agencies led to the transformation of the public sector. Economic independence of institutions changed their economic behavior. The study revealed that the economic goals of institutions are growth and profit. The economic behavior of institutions can be described in terms of managerial models of firms. Approximate the behavior of institutions in the markets can be produced using the neoclassical theory of the firm. To achieve its goals of the institution may use planning based on marginal approach. Using the theory of the firm predicts the behavior of institutions. Using the theory of the firm predicts the behavior of institutions. Establishments can use for achievement of the purposes planning on the basis of marginal approach. This suggests an increase in the variety of services and changes in pricing policy. Pricing policy will focus on the demand of consumers and rising prices. It is necessary to expect increase in norms of work of the personnel that can be interfaced to decrease in quality of services.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ascertain how perceived service quality mediates employees’ customer orientation and customer satisfaction in the public utility sector. Design/methodology/approach The study focused on the commercial customers (small and medium-scale enterprises– (SMEs)) of Electricity Company of Ghana Ltd. There were 350 SMEs sampled for the study, and each had no more than 99 employees. Respondents were either owner-managers or employee-managers. Structural equation model (SEM) was used in estimating the effects among the variables studied. Findings Most public institutions have a built-in customer base, and therefore places less emphasis on employees’ customer orientation. This notwithstanding, findings revealed that employees’ customer orientation behaviors significantly impacted customers’ perceived service quality and satisfaction toward public institutions. Similarly, customers’ perceived service quality influenced their satisfaction toward public institutions. SMEs serve as an engine for economic growth in an economy, and therefore public institutions must consider their peculiar needs in the delivery of service to them. Originality/value This study pointed out that, employees’ customer orientation behaviors of public institutions have an influence on customers’ perceived service quality and satisfaction. Previous studies on these concepts have largely focused on the private sector, where there are lots of competition. This study also specifically studied commercial customers (SMEs) of public institution, which is quite novel, especially in relation to the concepts studied. And the contribution of SMEs to economic growth makes their study even much more important.

ABSTRACT: The shift toward performance budgeting and outcome measures for public-sector institutions in recent decades has created a need to formally link inputs consumed and outcomes achieved. Given the inherent problems of cost accounting systems in public-sector institutions, we propose a statistical approach to identify the most cost-effective management tools that also recognize the endogeneity between costs and outcomes. The model developed allows for the examination of possible trade-offs that can be exercised by public-sector institutions facing multiple stakeholders with conflicting objectives. Using public schools in New Jersey and a set of variables identified from the education economics literature, we estimate cost and outcome functions to demonstrate empirically the choices made by school district superintendents that trade off the interests of various stakeholders, while seeking to meet the core objectives of the institutions. Our empirical results provide insight on the variables controllable by the superintendents that appear to be used inefficiently, or are subject to institutional constraints that limit the flexibility in input choice assumed by the proposed method. From a management accounting standpoint, the identification of such variables narrows the areas to be focused on in the search for improvements in performance.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The achievement of sustainable development goals is linked to the procurement of public infrastructure in a manner that meets key procurement objectives, such as sustainability, value-for-money, transparency and accountability. At the heart of achieving these procurement objectives and others is the capacity of public procurement institutions. Whereas previous reports have hinted that there are deficiencies in procurement capacity in Nigeria, insights regarding critical aspects of organisational capacity deficiencies among different tiers of government agencies is limited. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the critical gaps in the procurement capacity of state and local government agencies involved in the procurement of public infrastructure in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The study employed a survey of public infrastructure procurement personnel which yielded 288 responses. Findings Among 23 operationalised items that are related to organisational procurement capacity, none is perceived to be adequate by the procurement personnel. Additionally, among 14 procurement objectives only 1 is perceived as being attained to at least a high extent. Originality/value The findings underscore the acuteness of organisational procurement capacity weaknesses among public procurement institutions within Nigeria’s governance structure. It is, thus, imperative for policy makers within state and local government to formulate, resource and implement procurement capacity building initiatives/programmes to address these deficiencies. Additionally, the organisational procurement capacity items operationalised in this study could serve as a useful blueprint for studying capacity deficiencies among public infrastructure procurement agencies in other developing countries, especially within sub-Saharan Africa where several countries have been implementing public procurement reforms.

AbstractThis article reviews and analyses the growing phenomenon of public-private partnerships in the field of international public health cooperation (PPPs). This trend has been led by the changing political dynamics surrounding international health issues as well as by the perception of the inadequacy of market mechanisms and the inability of existing international institutions for tackling pressing health problems in developing countries. The article analyses in particular the remarkable developments in international health governance that PPPs have ushered in as well as the role played and the challenges faced by the World Health Organization.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between the size of public sector and the rate of economic growth has been widely examined empirically in different countries. Most applied studies confirmed the validity of the inverse relationship between the increasing role of the state in the economy, measured by the ratio of public spending to gross domestic product and rates of economic growth. These studies estimated the optimum rate that would guarantee achieving the highest economic growth rates. This study aims to analyses this relationship for the case of the Jordanian economy. Using a theoretically justified econometric model, the researchers have utilized an ARDL econometric technique to quantitatively assess this relationship for the period (1970-2018). The study relied on official data related to the gross domestic product published by the Central Bank of Jordan and official data related to public spending and public revenues published by the Jordanian Ministry of Finance. The econometric results of the study confirm the existence of an inverse relationship between the size of public sector and the rate of economic growth in Jordan, which may lend support to the hypothesis of the Armey curve. The optimal size of the government (public sector) is estimated to be about 26 percent, which is much lower than the actual average government size in Jordan. The researchers recommend the need to gradually cutting down the size of public sector through adjusting the real spending structure and restructuring the independent public institutions. The restructuring of independent public institutions requires the abolition of institutions that are not economically feasible and constitute more financial burdens on society on the one hand, and the merging of a number of them into an independent public institution that provides its services to the community in an efficient and effective manner. Researchers also recommend the need to continue privatizing the public sector and activating the role of partnership between the public and private sectors. Keywords: size of public sector, government spending, economic growth, ARDL, privatization.

Full textAbstract:
Verification is a federally mandated process that requires selected students to further attest that the information reported on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is accurate and complete. In this brief, we estimate institutional costs of administrating the FAFSA verification mandate and consider variation in costs by institution type and sector. Using data from 2014, we estimate that compliance costs to institutions in that year totaled nearly US$500 million with the burden falling disproportionately on public institutions and community colleges, in particular. Specifically, we estimate that 22% of an average community college’s financial aid office operating budget is devoted to verification procedures, compared with 15% at public 4-year institutions. Our analysis is timely, given that rates of FAFSA verification have increased in recent years.

Environmental management in the Costa Rican public sector: weaknesses and opportunities for Institutional Environmental Management Programs: officials perspective. Costa Rican public institutions are required to implement Institutional Environmental Management Programs (IEMP) to mitigate negative environmental impacts from their work. Each institution must formalize an IEMP Committee. I identified IEMP implementation weaknesses and opportunities, from the perception of the people in charge of this work. The survey included: a) an assessment of environmental management at the institution; (b) feasibility of the implementation; (c) constraints and solutions; and e) training needs. The survey was applied to 190 officials in 95 institutions; 38.3% of respondents believed that the work in their institution was good, with differences appearing among institution categories (Kruskal Wallis, H=16.6, p=0.0001); the decentralized public institutional sector was perceived more favorably in this regard. Respondents pointed out that the most easily implemented actions were those that involved changes of attitude and lower budgetary investment. The main constraints were: a) institutional officials see environmental issues as secondary (or without importance); (b) the coordination of the IEMP tasks are assigned to people who do not have time to do it; c) insufficient budgetary allocation. The need for work on training and awareness raising of officials was identified, along with the allocation of more economic resources, greater support from institutional authorities and the strengthening of the institutional Committee on the IEMP (both in terms of availability of effective labor time, as well as having specialists in environmental management that guide the actions of the committee). On issues of training, the highest level of interest was found in the following: sustainable public procurement, development of energy diagnostics, and integral waste management.

This paper aims to highlight the key role that corporate governance plays in increasing the efficiency and the economic growth of organizations, including the public institutions. The benefits and effects that Corporate Governance offers have led to the expansion of the practice in question, including in the public sector. Although the mission of the public sector is a social one, it differs significantly from that of the private sector – which is the economic one, however, a number of corporate governance traits are specific to both sectors, and the aim of each sector is to streamline management and improve the internal control system. The study highlights the reasons that have led to growing interest in corporate governance in the public sector, providing the possibility to identify optimal solutions to prevent negative practices of fraud and financial failure.

In prevalent competitive environment of higher education institutions it has become vital for the institutional management to pursue for attainment of students satisfaction and maintain it throughout their stay in the institution during the course of study. Besides many predictors, the service quality is considered very vital factor in education sector to ensure students satisfaction all along their learning stage. Therefore, this research study aims to measure the relationship between the service qualities of higher education institutions with their customers (students) satisfaction. The service quality of higher education is determined by measuring various dimensions of service quality such as; the tangibility of institution and its infrastructure, reliability in its service delivery, responsiveness of its service providers, assurance and empathy. The research furthers its measurement of relationship of each dimension of service quality with students satisfaction level with a view to ascertain significance of each or otherwise. The research intends to investigate students of public and private sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The research is not only expected to determine the prevalent level students satisfaction and service quality of higher education, but also help to draw a comparative analyses between the public and private sector in this regard. The research would help the management of higher education institutions to revisit and regulate their strategies to deliver better service quality to its customers by focusing each dimension of the service quality individually.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the disaster management procedures and measures adopted by public institutions in managing their information resources with a view to identifying possible problems and making recommendations for their resolution. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaires, interviews and observation were used to collect data from 65 respondents from 19 ministries and five respondents from the Public Records and Archives Administration Department (PRAAD) and the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO). Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the data collected for the study. Findings In the 19 ministries surveyed, the findings revealed high levels of unpreparedness to manage disasters concerning public records. The study also revealed the exposure of the ministries to various kinds of risks in their operations, and the lack of coordination between the heads of public sector institutions, NADMO and PRAAD. Also, inadequate budgetary allocation for the records department of the ministries and PRAAD was identified. Research limitations/implications The study concentrated on the headquarters (HQ) of the ministries because they are the administrative headquarters of public sector institutions and they make policies that are complied with by all the Regional and District branches as well as the Departments and Agencies in executing their tasks. The major limitation of the study was the inability of the researcher to cover all the ministries. Practical implications The recommendations made included cooperation among heads of the ministries, PRAAD and NADMO to develop a national information disaster management plan for the effective management of public records and information and a comprehensive program in public institutions to orientate staff on information disaster management. Social implications The study set the tone for public sector institutions and other institutions in the same area of operation to review the processes and procedures with regard to recordkeeping. Also, the study is anticipated to draw the attention of policy-makers (management of the ministries) and regulatory bodies in the field of records and disaster management (PRAAD and NADMO) to review their plans and policies to make provision for information disaster management. Originality/value The study is a research paper and critically looks at the disaster preparedness of public sector institutions in managing their records/information. It also examines whether there are any collaboration and coordination among public sector institutions in Ghana in having disaster preparedness and management plan to safeguard public records/information.

Full textAbstract:
The article identifies the role of public sector accountants in creating value for the state and society and suggests ways to improve skills in making professional judgments. Public accountants should provide the necessary information for decisionmaking and check the current activities of public organizations. The accountant of the public sector institution informs the population and allows assessing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the institutions that provide public services. Thus, for an accountant working in public administration, it is essential to provide information primarily to meet the information needs of citizens, NGOs, and society in general, to determine the cost of maintaining these bodies – how much taxpayers work for civil servants. At the same time, despite the existing problems and troubles, the accountant profession is constantly evolving in response to the constant development of socio-economic relations, the introduction of new innovative technologies, and the integration of society, which leads to growth, and organization in solving problems and advocating. Despite this key role of accounting in the public sector, it is underestimated compared to scientific and professional accounting in the corporate sector. The role of higher education institutions is to provide students with the skills necessary not only to enter the profession but also to solve environmental, economic, and social problems. The role of professional accounting organizations is to develop the profession as a whole – both in the private and public sectors. The factors of unfavorable influence on the development of the accounting profession in the public sector are identified, and directions for increasing its prestige are proposed. The acquisition of new knowledge and practical skills and the identification of barriers to the acquisition of relevant skills in accordance with international best practices and standards contribute to the role of accountants in the public sector and increase their social value, especially in the context of international practices.

Full textAbstract:
Building on sociological research on institutions and organizations and psychological research on risk and decision making, we propose that the development of institutions that reduce the risks of entering new sectors has a stronger effect on the founding rates of firms using novel technologies than on firms using established technologies. In an analysis of the independent-power sector of the electricity industry from 1980 to 1992, we found that the development of regulative and cognitive institutions legitimated the entire sector and provided incentives for all sector entrants; thus, foundings of all kinds of firms multiplied rapidly but had a stronger impact on those using risky novel technologies. In contrast, the central normative institutions that developed in this sector, state-level trade associations, provided greater support for particular forms (those using established technologies) and thus increased foundings of those favored forms more than foundings of less favored forms (those using novel technologies). Our study demonstrates how institutional forces can alter the mix of organizations entering a new industry and thus contribute to diversity, as well as similarity, among organizations.

Through several conduits, sound institutional quality is pivotal for economic development, as there is evidence that stable democratic institutions, rule of law and sound governance structures in the administration are highly conducive to promote growth. Therefore, a high institutional quality is not only the end point, but also the starting point of a more sustainable development. In this paper we provide some theoretical considerations as well as empirical evidence, based on several regression analyses, that the quality of institutions in a wider sense, and governance, which includes not only the level of “politics” itself, but also the administrative level, is relevant not only for the macro-level of development (i.e. the increase of the national welfare and foreign investment), but also on a micro-level: A stronger participation of private enterprises in public service provision and the introduction of public-private part¬nerships depends to a high degree on the institutional quality. This is even more relevant as the improvement of public services and of core infrastructures can be seen as crucial multipliers for future growth.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend the New Public Financial Management concept and the contingency model approach to an analysis of the determinants of the accrual-based International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) adoption process as a financial management reform in Sri Lanka, a developing country in Asia. Design/methodology/approach Based on the prior literature, this paper develops a framework to highlight the importance of accrual-based reforms in public sector accounting policies to enable better transparency and accountability. It shows the extent to which Sri Lankan public sector institutions have adopted IPSAS-based accounting standards and the limitations of adopting these standards in a developing country, using documentary analysis. Findings In developing countries, the public sector faces practical problems when adopting reforms due to limited institutional capacity, high political involvement and bureaucracy in decision making. This paper concludes that significant policy changes towards the adoption of international accounting standards have gained momentum over the last decade in Sri Lanka while the much larger economies in Asia are still studying this process. However, the prevailing political uncertainty in Sri Lanka has negatively impacted the implementation process. Originality/value Relatively little is known about the diffusion of, and the difficulties in, implementing accrual-based IPSAS in the Asian region. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap by exploring the Sri Lankan experience. This could be applied by other developing countries in Asia, including the high-growth nations, for policy adoption and accounting harmonisation.

Full textAbstract:
Background/Context Sub-baccalaureate certificates can provide an accelerated pathway to gainful employment for the unemployed or underemployed. Certificates represented only 6% of postsecondary awards in 1980, but today they represent 22% of all credentials awarded and have superseded associate's and master's degrees as the second most common award granted by U.S. postsecondary institutions. Although enrollment in certificate programs has skyrocketed, empirical research on this student population is scarce. Focus of the Study The purpose of this study was to compare the demographic characteristics, college financing strategies, and enrollment outcomes of occupational certificate students across the three institutional sectors: community colleges, public career and technical centers, and sub-baccalaureate for-profit institutions. Research Design The data were derived from the Beginning Postsecondary Student Study (BPS:04/09) conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. The sample included students across the three institutional sectors who enrolled in a sub-baccalaureate certificate program that was occupationally focused (unweighted n = 1,770). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and multinomial regression techniques. Findings Six years after initial enrollment, certificate students beginning at for-profits had the lowest rates of credential completion but were much more likely than public sector students to have taken out loans and defaulted during repayment. Seventeen percent of certificate students beginning at a community college transferred to another institution at some point, suggesting that these programs can serve as a stepping stone to further education. Results from the regression models indicated that students’ race/ethnicity, income status, field of study, and institutional sector were associated with successful certificate completion and/or transfer. Conclusions Equipped with a better profile of certificate students and their educational outcomes, colleges can begin to design better support services and program structures that address the unique needs of this growing student population. These institutional efforts, along with well-designed public policies that boost the production of high-quality certificates, could help strengthen the U.S. workforce and increase educational attainment rates among students from less advantaged backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
The modern economic environment has undergone significant changes, as a result of which classical approaches to ensuring the competitiveness of enterprises in the real and public sectors of the economy have proved unjustified. The changes in Georgia have increased the need for innovative development of all industries and economic activities, as innovation has become a key factor in competitiveness in the global market. In addition, the high competitiveness of the education system is becoming one of the factors of economic security of the state in the XXI century. The implementation of state policy in the social sphere is impossible without solving the problems of matching the interests of the society, the state, and the public sector, as well as setting the right priorities. All these problems can be solved by giving more freedom to these public sector institutions, creating an effective competitive environment, and developing mechanisms to assess their competitiveness. Monitoring the quality of their work facilitates the introduction of promising mechanisms to ensure competitiveness. When the public sector of the economy moves to a new format, these mechanisms ultimately act as a lever, determining the market opportunities of Georgian public sector organizations in the global economy and contributing to the growth of Georgia's innovative potential. Key words: State policy, education, innovations.
