Governmental accounting is a specialized branch of accounting used by public sector entities such as federal, state, and municipal governments to track public funds, budgets, and expenditures in accordance with standards set by bodies like the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Accountants in this field focus on fund accounting, budgetary compliance, and transparency in the use of taxpayer money rather than profit-driven reporting.
