Abstract

This paper examines the inter-generational financial dimensions and accounting implications of under-funding practices in the public sector. We explain why intergenerational financial disclosure has become such an urgent issue internationally, and discuss a generational accounting framework for calculating the necessary financial information to reveal the inequities and resource allocation problems afflicting public sector organizations. The main limitations, assumptions and applications of a generational approach to analyse the financial sustainability of public sector enterprises are briefly discussed.
