Nepal Public Sector Accounting Standards (NPSAS) are a set of accounting principles and guidelines specifically designed for public sector entities in Nepal.

Illustration of accrual accounting (recording transactions when earned/incurred) vs. cash accounting (recording only when cash changes) under NPSAS.

Key features of NPSAS include:

  • Accrual Basis Accounting: Emphasizes recording transactions when they occur, not when cash is received or paid.
  • Budgetary Control: Ensures compliance with approved budgets and highlights variances.
  • Fund Accounting: Tracks resources allocated for specific purposes, such as grants or projects.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: Requires detailed financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.
  • Alignment with International Standards: Based on International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) to promote consistency and comparability.

NPSAS aims to improve financial governance, enhance decision-making, and foster public trust in financial reporting within Nepal’s public sector.
