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.

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.
