A roamap for PhD

The PhD research tends to explain why and how public sector accounting forms where held in Belgium from the initial plan of reform in 1991 to its implementation in 2021 and beyond.

The main idea is to explain the output of the current reform using notions of the deviation from the target and tools derived from principle-agent theory and institutional theory.
