Public sector auditing as a field of practice has quite a long history, although its most significant rise falls on 1980–1990, and is associated by most researchers with active public administration reforms in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, and Northern European countries (Parker et al, 2019; Bodyako et al, 2019; Rogulenko et al, 2019), which caused the “explosive” development of public auditing.
