Summary
In the accounting legislation in the sphere of the public sector in our country conceptual amendments have been made, which has reflected on the overall organization of the accounting process in the budgetary organizations. However, these changes affect individual aspects of the budgetary organizations' accounting, which is why there is currently no entirely new framework for accountability of public sector enterprises.

This in turn is a prerequisite for insufficient clarity and, in certain cases, a contradiction in the accounting of specific business operations and processes in the budgetary enterprises.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the organization of current and periodic accounting in public sector enterprises.

The fundamental research thesis that is being defended is that the improvements in the organization of the current and periodic accounting of the activities of the public sector enterprises are a prerequisite for a true and fair presentation of their financial situation.

Proof of the presented thesis requires the fulfillment of the stated tasks: to clarify the significance of the process of convergence of the national accounting rules in the public sector with the international accounting legislation; to outline the main theoretical, methodological and practical problems; to offer reasoned opportunities for improving the current and periodic accounting and reporting process in order to better reflect business operations in the public sector enterprises.

As a result of the survey, problems, referred by the authors as main problems, have been outlined in relation with the accounting in these enterprises, and argued opportunities for improvement related to the Chart of Accounts of the budgetary organizations and the presentation of the information in the financial statements have been presented.
