Abstract
In Italy, in the last few years the legislator has acted, in the public sector, as a promoter of change of the accounting information system (AIS). The public administrations (PA), in fact, have been the recipient of legislative measures aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of management processes. These interventions have concerned, directly or indirectly, AIS. The aim of this research is to build an interpretive model of Italian not university research institutions (RI) behavior in adopting legislator acts in order to: understand the extent of the law impacts on RI’s AIS; investigate the determinant factors affecting this behavior.
This research work is carried out from all three authors, however the paragraphs n. 1, 2, 5, 6 can be attributed to D. Mancini, n. 3 to M. De Angelis; n. 4 to C. Ferruzzi.
