Abstract
Examinations of the growth in the adoption of International Public Sector
Accounting Standards (IPSAS) at a global level have focused on Anglo-Saxon
countries. This paper considers the implications of IPSAS adoption in Spain.
The authors found that a combination of factors, such as the political need to
demonstrate improvements in public sector accountability, ‘code-law’ based systems
of governance, European Union pressures for the harmonization of business
accounting and the credibility resulting from major international institutions
adopting IPSAS, all contributed to its legitimation in Spain.
