Abstract
This chapter sets forth the IPSAS content by reviewing relevant norms. The hierarchy of IPSASB announcements and the set of IPSAS financial statements are briefly explained. Still, the focus of this chapter is on selected IPSAS referring to specific balance sheet items, namely property, plant and equipment (IPSAS 17, 21, 26), revenue from non-exchange transactions with the related recoverables (IPSAS 23) and service concessions and the related assets and liabilities (IPSAS 32). Each standard is summarized in brief and for each accounting field, definition, initial recognition and subsequent measurement is introduced.
