Design/method/approach: This study surveyed 179 experienced accountants who are working in public sector in Ho Chi Minh city, one of the two largest city in Vietnam, to explore factors affecting their readiness by applying PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling) to test the hypotheses of the research model.
Findings: Results showed that three factors of research model including attitude, perceived usefulness and coercive pressure have impact on readiness of accountant in application of Vietnam public sector accounting standards.
Research, Practical & Social implication: The study successfully tested the role of the attitude variable for the readiness of application, which is ignored by previous research.
