The focus of the project is the transfer of accounting institutions (policy making or/and standard setting agencies, regulatory bodies and professional associations) from West to contemporary Albania, and their proper functioning.
This project will seek to establish the 'link' between and impact of:
(i) accounting institutions on economic development in post-communist Albania;
(ii) the influence of foreign advisers in shaping
Albania's accounting system.
To achieve its objectives, this project will address the following specific issues:
- the functioning of accounting institutions in contemporary Albania;
- the unique local factors - political and cultural - that must be taken into consideration to assist Albania's process of institution building and,
- the contribution of international politico-financial
organisations towards the reform of accounting system in Albania.
