Background of the Study
Financial sustainability in the public sector is critical for ensuring efficient service delivery and long-term economic stability. The adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) aims to improve financial reporting transparency, accountability, and decision-making in the public sector. In Nigeria, the implementation of IPSAS is seen as a transformative measure to enhance financial sustainability by providing a standardized framework for public financial management.
