Abstract
My intention during this session is to give an overview of central government accounting in Sweden. I will focus on the current situation and latest developments. I will also try to describe some experience we have gained in Sweden and highlight some issues that I find interesting in a government accounting perspective. I shall especially highlight the need to consider special government characteristics when moving towards private sector accounting principles.
