The Italian Associate Professor Pietro Pavone Delivered an Open Lecture to Doctoral Students and Undergraduates of the Accountancy and Analysis Department

Prof. Dr. Daniela Feschiyan opened the event by introducing the lecturer and outlining the issues of the accounting in the public sector in Italy and Bulgaria. She highlighted their similarities, explaining: "Both countries do not apply the International Public Sector Accounting Standards /IPSAS/, apply outdated national standards and regulations and have major problems with deviations from the accrual basis. A significant part of the information does not meet the reliability requirement due to the application of the cash basis. The UNWE is one of the few European universities where not only a lecture course on International Public Sector Accounting Standards /IPSAS/ is taught, but also a Master's degree programme in Public Sector Standardization and Accounting has been established. Prof. Daniela Feschiyan said that she has dedicated dozens of her works and more than 20 years of research to these issues.
