Abstract :
    Most public sector accounting standards are formulated on the assumption that the government is engaged in impartial and non-profit activities, and the public accounting function is limited to the government s disclosure of the budget, the description of funding, and the need to accurately calculate performance results. And not the government s financial situation. Recently, however, in some countries, including the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia, there has been an approach to using a full accrual basis in public sector accounting. In order to analyze the costs and benefits of a full accrual accounting system, it is necessary to first recognize it and then consider its differences with the cash accounting system and the reasons for the pros and cons of each of the two systems. In order to understand the full accrual accounting system, it seems useful to introduce a practical example. Hence, we first look at the full accrual accounting model used in Australia, and then describe the pros and cons and draw conclusions from the arguments presented.
