Significant actions have been taken to define the concept of performance measurement. Many researchers have been discussing and developing this topic. Also, not only in the recent literature are many studies regarding the topic, but now are more than ever. At international level, International Public Sector Accounting Standard Board took the decision to develop a framework for reporting service performance measurement that focuses on meeting the needs of intended users. In this way, around the world, will be a uniform understanding and applicability for performance measurement. This paper analyzes the concept of performance measurement. The main objective of the paper is to do a review of the definitions received by the concept in time, thus a qualitative approach will be used. Furthermore, this paper tries to examine the changes which occurred in public universities due to the budget constraints. Performance measurement plays a central role because, in this way, universities prove their accountability and to show the way in which they have value the money.
