Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

Book excerpt: This paper is part of a set of country case studies that take a detailed look at public expenditures in agriculture and at how these expenditure data are captured in government financial and budget accounts. The objective of these studies is to unpack the black box of public expenditure statistics reported in various cross-country datasets and ultimately enable the use of existing government accounts to identify levels and compositions of country-level agricultural spending data, with clearer knowledge of what these data are in fact accounting for.Public expenditure is one of the most important policy instruments to achieve the development goals in developing and transition countries, and the formulation of an effective policy relies on a clear definition of agricultural expenditure. Based on government expenditure data from 2002/2003 to 2010/2011, this paper first reviews the institutional arrangement and budgeting process in Kenya, followed by a description of the structure of public expenditure account in Kenya. The expenditure data are aggregated according to clearly delineated administrative, functional, and economic classifications, which produces the composition and trend of agricultural expenditure in the country over time. Results from aggregation suggest that agricultural expenditure goes beyond the ministry of agriculture and that the share of agriculture in total expenditure remained stagnant at 4-5 percent in the 2000s despite a steady increase in the level of total government spending. More investment in agricultural capital is needed to promote long-term growth in agricultural production and productivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper defines and explains key stages of the government expenditure chain and describes the controls applied at each stage, including their objectives and key features as well as centralized vs. decentralized approaches in application of those controls. The paper also examines the influence of different administrative traditions on types of expenditure controls, including the authority and responsibility of various institutional actors. Finally, it discusses typical weaknesses/problems associated with different traditions of expenditure control and suggests specific measures for strengthening the control framework. While providing examples of expenditure control practices from more than 32 countries, the paper points out that more than two-thirds of the 85 low and middle income countries covered by the publicly available Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessments have weak systems of expenditure control that are also associated with higher levels of expenditure arrears and a lack of budget credibility. This paper will help public financial management practitioners to evaluate budget execution systems and identify priorities for strengthening expenditure controls. It will also usefully guide technical assistance work related to modernization of government budget execution and expenditure control systems, including the design and implementation of IT-based financial management information systems.

Book excerpt: This Public Expenditure Review (PER) report carries an ex-post evaluation of a) budget performance in 2002/03 and, where information is available, for 2003/04 against fiscal objectives and spending priorities as set in the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS); and, b) the Performance of budgetary institutions in the context of the government's public expenditure management (PEM) reform program. It also pulls together main features of spending patterns, and policy issues in key line ministries from the ministerial public expenditure reviews. In each of these areas, the report makes recommendations for further reform. The report also draws upon the findings of the Public Expenditure Management Assessment Action Plan (PEM-AAP) update, and the medium term expenditure framework (MTEF) Review. In an update carried out in 2004, PEM systems were found to meet 4 of the 16 benchmarks, which indicate that a much more concerted effort is needed to improve PEM in Kenya. There are two key indicators of weak PEM in Kenya: a big gap between the original (printed) budget and outturn, and, a huge stock of expenditure arrears. There are notable weaknesses in PEM that must be resolved before the budget can be wielded as an effective instrument for strategic linking of resources and spending. Within the MTEF process, key issues point at: the MTEF and annual budgeting remain two separate processes; the Planning-Finance split between the MTEF process and the annual budget is not conducive to effective integration of spending priorities and resource allocation; there is no single budget strategy document that could provide a reasonably firm reconciliation of resources and priorities; there is lack of political engagement in budget strategy and sector ceilings determination; and, the budget formulation timetable is too compressed. Key recommendations of the PER suggest developing and implementing a credible Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy; prioritizing expenditure to achieve the economic recovery strategy (ERS) Objectives; and, strengthening PEM.

Download or read book PEFA, Public Financial Management, and Good Governance written by Jens Kromann Kristensen and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project, based on the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) data set, researched how PEFA can be used to shape policy development in public financial management (PFM) and other major relevant policy areas such as anticorruption, revenue mobilization, political economy analysis, and fragile states. The report explores what shapes the PFM system in low- and middle-income countries by examining the relationship between political institutions and the quality of the PFM system. Although the report finds some evidence that multiple political parties in control of the legislature is associated with better PFM performance, the report finds the need to further refine and test the theories on the relationship between political institutions and PFM. The report addresses the question of the outcomes of PFM systems, distinguishing between fragile and nonfragile states. It finds that better PFM performance is associated with more reliable budgets in terms of expenditure composition in fragile states, but not aggregate budget credibility. Moreover, in contrast to existing studies, it finds no evidence that PFM quality matters for deficit and debt ratios, irrespective of whether a country is fragile or not. The report also explores the relationship between perceptions of corruption and PFM performance. It finds strong evidence of a relationship between better PFM performance and improvements in perceptions of corruption. It also finds that PFM reforms associated with better controls have a stronger relationship with improvements in perceptions of corruption compared to PFM reforms associated with more transparency. The last chapter looks at the relationship between PEFA indicators for revenue administration and domestic resource mobilization. It focuses on the credible use of penalties for noncompliance as a proxy for the type of political commitment required to improve tax performance. The analysis shows that countries that credibly enforce penalties for noncompliance collect more taxes on average.

Download or read book Securing Development written by Bernard Harborne and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Securing Development: Public Finance and the Security Sector highlights the role of public finance in the delivery of security and criminal justice services. This book offers a framework for analyzing public financial management, financial transparency, and oversight, as well as expenditure policy issues that determine how to most appropriately manage security and justice services. The interplay among security, justice, and public finance is still a relatively unexplored area of development. Such a perspective can help security actors provide more professional, effective, and efficient security and justice services for citizens, while also strengthening systems for accountability. The book is the result of a project undertaken jointly by staff from the World Bank and the United Nations, integrating the disciplines where each institution holds a comparative advantage and a core mandate. The primary audience includes government officials bearing both security and financial responsibilities, staff of international organizations working on public expenditure management and security sector issues, academics, and development practitioners working in an advisory capacity.
