The Hungarian municipal governments in public accounting

Abstract

Balázs Tóth’s interesting and valuable work entitled The Hungarian Municipalities in Public Sector Accounting was published by Saldo in 2024. There is an extensive literature on how the multi-stakeholder system of the national economy, with its hundreds of thousands of interests, tasks and, not least, values, is being intertwined with the increasingly complex and sophisticated obligations of reporting, accounting and data provision. Accounting, it could be said, is an important chronicler of the functioning of public finances and its local government system.
