Abstract
Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the governmental accounting transformations carried out in 16 member countries of the Organization for Economic Coordination and Development (OECD) and the European Community, taking the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) as a benchmark. To carry out the study we have used the de facto information disclosed by central government financial reports. The study shows that between the extremes of cash and full accrual accounting the countries studied have put numerous intermediate variants into practice. Accrual accounting developments seem more related to New Public Management (NPM) initiatives than to the cultural categories studied. Résumé L'objectif de cet article est d'etudier les transformations effectuees dans la comptabilite publique dans 16 pays de I'OCDE (Organisation de cooperation et de developpement economiques) et des Communautes europeennes en prenant comme reference I'International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). Pour mener a bien I'etude, nous avons employe I'information de fait revelee par les rapports financiers du gouvernement central. L'etude prouve qu'entre la methode de la comptabilite de caisse et la comptabilite d'exercice pour toutes les operations, les pays etudies ont mis en place de nom‐breuses variantes intermediaires. Les developpements de la comptabilite en creances et dettes semblent etre plus en relation avec les initiatives du New Public Management (NPM) qu'avec les categories culturelles etudiees.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
