Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a crisis in public services. More specifically, there is pressure on financial management to respond. However, a gap exists in understanding the support accounting can provide during a sudden crisis. The purpose of this debate piece is to consider the role of accounting during the pandemic at the local government level. After an initial ‘whatever it takes’ approach the fundamentals of good planning and budgeting become ever more important moving forward to not only deal with the pandemic but its impact and implications.
