- Abstract
This study uses the method of a systematic review of the literature with the PRISMA approach to identify the literature to be reviewed. The aims of this study are to examine the development of public service in accounting research and to identify the research focuses and topics emerging in this field. The results indicate that qualitative methods are prevalent in research in this area and the number of research publications from 2004 to 2023 tends to remain stable. There was a significant increase in the publication of articles related to this topic in 2020, with 6 articles, but this has gradually decreased in the following years. Management accounting is a topic that has been extensively researched in public service accounting, with a strong influence from New Public Management (NPM) principles. In the future, it may be beneficial to direct research towards auditing, especially in emerging economies, as a means of enhancing the quality of public service delivery and increasing public satisfaction.
