Developing and Implementing European Public Sector Accounting Modules, 5 cr

This course is based on the DiEPSAm Erasmus+ project that developed an academic module for Bachelor or Master degree programmes that concentrates on European Public Sector Accounting. The content of the module consists of 14 recorded teaching modules and of a pdf text book, that will be published and available in September 2019, or in the beginning of October 2019.

The European Commission, authorizing Eurostat, aims to harmonize public sector accounting in Europe using European Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) as a basis of reference. As public sector accounting in Europe is currently very heterogenous, professionals and academics in Europe face tremendous challenges. In particular, there will be a large need for university graduates that are knowledgable in public sector accounting and that are aware of the differing public sector accounting regimes accross Europe. This course will fulfill these needs.

The textbook written in 2018/2019 completes the lecture materials. The teachers come from the five cooperating universities. The teacher in the Tampere university is professor Lasse Oulasvirta.

Please contact the teacher to make an agreement about how you will complete the course.
