Abstract: In order to evaluate the adoption and compliance with worldwide public sector accounting standards as well as their effects on accounting transparency and quality in the Jordanian public sector, research was undertaken. The study's population comprised all 250 Jordan's Ministry of Finance, employees. The research used a survey approach; 152 participants were randomly chosen from the pool. The respondents' responses were elicited using a standard questionnaire. Simple percentages and t-test analysis were used to gather and analyse the data. It was determined that the public sector's adoption of the international public sector accounting system would result in more open data, improve government accountability, and foster a better and more thorough decision-making process. The decision-makers, public sector accountants, the Jordan Ministry of Finance, and the Jordanian public sector are among the many parties to which this research is anticipated to be helpful. It was suggested that the government and authorities ensure that professional accountants have access to training facilities and materials on the idea of international public sector accounting and related concerns.
