Acknowledgements

Writing a book is not one individual’s work, rather it involves several people who contribute to the process in different ways. Therefore, I acknowledge the efforts of multiple people, specifically, Prof. Irvine Lapsley for his guidance throughout this whole process; a special thanks for his hospitality during my unforgettable 6 months of visiting study research at the Institute of Public Sector Accounting in Edinburgh, and moreover, Profs. Riccardo Mussari and Paolo Ricci who guided me in my academic path. Finally, I would like to thank the Campania Region who offered me the opportunity to collect the data as a non-participant observer.
