This paper focuses on exploring the roleof the new public sector accounting system in Algeria and its impact on reducing financial and administrative corruption.

To achieve the research objectives, the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) published by Transparency International and the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) of the World Bank are analyzed. It was determined through the study that the new accounting system contributes significantly at improving the quality of financial statements by adopting international standards and accrual-based accounting, ultimately enhancing public governance and reducing corruption.
