According to the Institute of Internal Auditors (2011), public sector is comprised of governments, agencies and enterprises which are all publicly controlled or publicly funded and other entities that deliver public programs, goods or services. The new website of the Investopedia (2014) considers the private sector as the part of the economy that is not controlled by state, and is individuals and companies run for profit. Depending on the definitions, public sectors are usually owned or operated by governments, such as educational and health care bodies; private sectors are usually not owned or operated by governments, like retail stores and local businesses (PrivacySense, 2014). Though the differences exist between the two sectors, people hold different views on whether accounting choices suitable for the two sectors should be identical or not. Barton (1999, p. 22) states that: The public and private sectors of the nation are not identical twins. The fundamental differences between the two must be acknowledged and accounting standards designed, where necessary, to suit the unique characteristics of the public sector. In his opinion, accounting choices adopted by the two sectors should be different as the services are provided to different markets...

The main aim of creating market like structures for the delivery of healthcare services is to promote efficiency and quality by introducing customer choice, whilst maintaining equity of access to the services to which they remain entitled to(Le Grand 1991). Creation and fostering of quazi-markets differ from other forms of microeconomic reform (Le Grand 2007). In fact rather than de-regulation which is associated with most other forms of economic reform (Nicoletti 2003), the NHS experience indicates that quazi-markets in healthcare require strong oversight and robust regulation, failure of which could lead to adverse patient outcomes and experience (Francis 2013). Opinions regarding the efficacy of quazi-markets as an instrument of public policy remains divided mainly along ideological grounds. The experience from the NHS is that these reforms once established, are associated with improved patient choice, provider competition and expanded capacity and do not appear to harm equity of access (Cooper 2009). However it is not possible to attribute increased...
