정부의 발생주의 회계 정착과 발생주의 예산도입에 관한 연구

In the 1970s, numerous countries were faced with financial crisis resulting from overspending budget and worsening terms of trade which led to economic slumps. To solve these kinds of economic and financial problems, many member countries of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development have attempted to reform the public sector since 1980s. Within cash basis accounting and budgeting systems, which has been applied to most countries, it was hard to lay responsibilities, offer comprehensive information and evaluate performance. In these contexts, many countries have introduced and institutionalized accrual basis accounting system. And they have adopted accrual basis budgeting system. Since Asian financial crisis, Korea has also prepared to introduce accrual basis accounting system as a part of financial reform. Then the Government Accounting Law was passed in 2007 and come into effect in January 1st, 2009. But the budgeting system is operated by cash basis. So there is disparity between accounting system and budgeting system. Comparing with other countries where accrual basis accounting and budgeting systems was applied, there are still some vulnerable points in Korea. In order to make up for these weakness this research suggests several points: systematic government accounting education for public servants; preparation of consolidated financial statement;adoption of accrual basis budgeting system; link between accrual basis accounting and budgeting systems with government financial management systems.
