Abstract
In this paper the author shows that it is conceptually possible to derive from International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) 12–Inventories exemplary requirements that can be used as a basis to assess in principle the compliance of military logistics systems with IPSAS 12. However, the utility of isolated requirements for compliance with IPSAS 12 is limited, since these requirements certainly need to be integrated with requirements derived from other IPSASs and with requirements related to the accounting system used to prepare IPSAS annual financial statements. As a result of such a requirement’s integration process it is very likely that noticeable changes and/or augmentations of the proposed exemplary requirements for compliance with IPSAS 12 will turn out to be necessary.
