A final account is one of the important project documents used to determine the final cost of a project completed by a contractor. The efficient closure of it is also one of the mechanisms adopted to assess whether or not a specific construction project is successful in terms of its finance and management. This paper is written based on a thematic literature review made on the patterns and trends in final account publications align with the construction industry in Malaysia. ATLAS.Ti 23 was adopted to synthesis publications from the year 2010 to 2021 which were gathered from recognised databases such as SCOPUS, Mendeley and Google Scholar by using identified keywords. The findings of the code-to-document analysis revealed patterns and trends on publications discussing on final account. Accordingly, the results help to charter the route for future research on final account as it highlights the gap existed in areas which call for further investigation. © 2023, Construction Research Institute of Malaysia.
