While this was a common practice in most of the Latin American countries several years ago, many countriese.g., Bolivia, Columbia, Paraguay, and Uruguayhave in recent years separated the accounting and audit functions. Line ministries and agencies can commit and use their allocated resources whenever they want within the year. Evidence since the second world war, says Chen of HKU, shows that "the higher the government's control of a country's economy, the lower the role for private consumption in its economic . It forms aggregate demand in addition to household consumption, business investment, and net exports. Legality of the operation is controlled by verifying that the officials approving a transaction have the authority to do so, and that the required supporting documents have been prepared in line with the law/regulations (for audit). KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 The government still has space to monitor the country's expenditure particularly development expenditure to ensure it is more prudent and accurate according to the project plans and this will indirectly assist the government in terms of better revenue needs. Once a payment order has been issued, payments are made through various instruments including checks, electronic fund transfer (EFT), and sometimes cash, in favor of a supplier or other recipient to discharge the liability. . If accounting is on cash-basis, there is regular reporting and monitoring of overdue payables. This convergence is in the direction of: an increased focus on ex ante controls over expenditure commitments rather than ex post controls only at the payment stage of the expenditure cycle; a shift from controlling only cash expenditures towards controlling the accumulation of accrued liabilities as well; greater devolution of responsibility for routine expenditure controls towards ministries and agencies and a more risk-based approach to the exercise of centralized controls; a stronger reliance on internal and external audit to ensure the integrity of financial control systems in ministries and agencies; and. Time horizon of apportionment too short for expenditure planning and execution by line agencies. Expenditures are everything that a government actually spends money on, such as social programs, education, and infrastructure. The paper also examines the influence of different administrative traditions on types of expenditure controls, including the authority and responsibility of various institutional actors. The annual budget authority is regulated by the ministry of finance which releases warrants (notifications de crdit) specifying a commitment ceiling for each month or quarter. In the German-Austrian tradition,35 as in Francophone and Lusophone systems, there is a clear division between the roles of ordering or anordnend (which covers the apportionment of the budget, together with the reservation, commitment, verification and payment order stages) and executing or ausfuehrend (which covers the execution of payments). Sequestering (or gel/rgulation budgtaire in Francophone tradition) is the blocking of appropriations by the ministry of finance. Insufficient allocation for expenditure authorized through standing/permanent legislations. As part of the budgetary accounting, commitments and payments made (through the CPs) against each AE are tracked to identify and report on (i) AE approved in budget law; (ii) AE consumed through legal commitments; (iii) AE unused/available for new commitments; (iv) CP authorized in budget law; and (v) payments made or CP consumed (see figure below). These valuations measure the full costs of paying pension benefits. The usual goals of both fiscal and monetary policy are to achieve or maintain full employment, to achieve or maintain a high rate of . In broad terms, Commonwealth systems28 are characterized by the devolution of the responsibility for financial control and the issue of payment orders to line ministries. an emphasis on transparency and accountability to the legislature and the public for expenditure overruns. Cash Management: How Do Countries Perform Sound Practices? The classification of public expenditure can be done in 4 ways: Revenue Expenditure The revenue expenditure is funded through the current revenue of the government that includes taxes and non-tax revenues such as welfare schemes or profits, or incidental incomes. A Government Deficit is the amount of money in the set budget by which the government expenditure exceeds the government income amount. The reform strategy and action plan should provide for monitoring the progress. Authorized purpose of the expenditure. This control can also apply to the wages/personnel expenditure in the sense that a designated official (e.g., the head of the division/department) certifies that the respective staff have performed their duty during the time period for which wages are to be paid. Reservation/pre-commitment. The TSA systems in some of these countries give financial incentives for smoothing expenditure profiles. Therefore, entering into a commitment or incurring a liability in excess of the limit would not, in the absence of other controls, constitute a breach of law. The key difference is in the degree of centralization between countries that follow the British Commonwealth, German-Austrian, and Scandinavian traditions of PFM and those that follow the Napoleonic traditions of PFM (France, Portugal, and Spain). But these funds may take some time to be further transferred to subsidiary spending units under the line ministries and then be spent on the salaries or goods and services that constitute final expenditure. Radev, D., and P. Khemani, 2009, Commitment Controls, Technical Notes and Manuals, (Washington: International Monetary Fund). The authority for expenditure is given for a specific pre-defined purpose. The line ministries have substantial authority in executing the budget. As these countries transitioned to market-based economies in the 1990s and early 2000s, and steps were taken to establish independent central banks, separate monetary policy from management of government liquidity, and reduce fiscal dominance over the banking sector, it was obvious that corresponding changes had to be made in the fiscal institutions responsible for budget execution and control. This model assigns both the authority to spend and the responsibility to ensure the regularity of each transaction to the same agency.

Expenditures authorized through standing/ permanent legislations are forecast and included in the budget documents. Accounting and monitoring of budget execution were carried out by the banking system. Much of the government's spending is a form of income or wealth redistribution, which is aimed at benefiting society as a whole. Large delay between verification (recognition of liability) and payment order (arrears, etc). For example, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. The expenditure cycle and associated controls in Francophone African countries derive largely from the French system as it existed prior to 1960s in the French provincial governments (prfectures).30 However, many Francophone African countries not only intensified the centralization of controls in the late 1990s,31 but the minister of finance also became the single and principal payment-authorizing officer (Ordonnateur principal unique).32 The responsibility for financial control is typically centralized in the ministry of finance, with its staff out-posted in the line ministries/spending agencies. There has been a proliferation of special procedures in a number of countries (particularly in Africa) that are designed for the benefit of powerful vested interests (who want a faster spending process for specific transactions, closer tracking of certain resources, and/or the accommodation of special institutional interests/arrangements). The lack of effective communication between treasury, which uses a cash-based budget execution system, and line agencies, which maintain their own accounting records (normally on accrual basis), leads to problems in reconciling expenditure data. While expenditure control frameworks differ greatly from country to country, it is nonetheless possible to define, in a generic sense: the key stages of the budget execution cycle; the specific control objectives at each of these stages; and. Sometimes, a consolidated check is issued to cover multiple payments by the bank to the respective beneficiaries accounts (e.g., payroll payments) as per the treasurys instructions. Some countries PFM systems explicitly recognize all or most of the above stages and track them through a budgetary accounting system, while others formally track only a few of them.16 For example, the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries track all seven stages and the Francophone countries track at least six stages (the reservation stage or engagement budgtaire is also sometimes tracked). Fiscal rules, medium-term budget plans, and annual budgets are meaningless if expenditure cannot be controlled during execution. When sequestering appropriations, ongoing commitments should be taken into account. Lusophone African countries are also characterized by a higher degree of centralization in the sense that the overall budget execution responsibility, including the responsibility for financial control, is usually concentrated in one office: either the budget office itself (e.g., in Guine Bissau, and Sao Tome and Principe) or the accounting office (e.g., in Angola and Mozambique). Once the apportionment of expenditure authorization is made and the spending authority has been released, some countries PFM systems include a stage at which funds are reserved for a specific known expense but for which no contract has yet been issued. Even when payment processing and expenditure controls are decentralized, a central aggregate control on cash is still required. PEFA PI-22; and average time lag between delivery and verification. The expenditure cycle and associated controls in Lusophone African countries34 are quite similar to the control framework in Francophone systems, but there are a few key differences. Budgets are not the only mechanisms that provide the legal authorization to incur expenditure. While particular expenditure control weaknesses may manifest themselves at a particular stage of the expenditure cycle, addressing them may require reforms at various points in the process. Several Francophone African countries are taking measures recently to reduce the complementary period to one month. 1All uses of public funds should be governed by financial regulations. Same as Francophone, but the official approving commitments and payments is usually the same (unlike separation of responsibility in Francophone countries). Banks were privatized and deregulated, central bank laws introduced firm limits on the amount of credit available to the government, centralized treasury departments were established to raise financing from the private sector on commercial terms, control and process government payments, and report on budget execution through the main treasury account. Overdue liabilities/payables as a percentage of the value of total payment orders issued; PEFA PI-21.2; and PI-25.3. Spending units enter into commitments only against unencumbered spending authority and the cash plan covers the expected payment profiles of commitments. While the answer to this question will depend on specific country context and weaknesses, in general caution should be exercised in the devolution of controls in countries that are at the initial stage of development of PFM systems (e.g., fragile states), or with weak capacity at line agencies to implement the required controls, and/or without strong institutions of ex post oversight (internal and external audit). Payment. Expenditures at the verification stage are sometimes called accrued expenditures (e.g., in the US), accounts payable, or actual expenses. Show answer Answer A public sector spending on goods and services like education or healthcare. No verification/certification system (i.e., payment orders issued without verification). Budget Preparation. 4, Paris. Payments authorized in annual budget do not fully reflect commitments carried forward from previous years (e.g., investment projects contracts). A Diagnostic Framework to Assess the Capacity of a Government's Financial Management Information System as a Budget Management Tool, Rwanda Nutrition Expenditure and Institutional Review 2020. Key challenges: need for sufficiently strong capacity in line agencies to implement the required controls (a challenge in fragile states); dispersed expenditure data could make timely financial reporting difficult; and lack of strong oversight (e.g., internal and external audit) and sanctions for non-compliance may create opportunities for fraudulent transactions. General Services: For further background information and discussion on specific features of commitment control, see D. Radev and P. Khemani (2009). Cash plans in these countries are used as tools for rationing expenditure authority but themselves tend to be unrealistically optimistic, as they do not reflect expected cash outflows based on commitments. Commitment-based budgeting systems impose limits on both expenditure commitments and cash payments. Once the specific problems and weaknesses in expenditure control have been identified, the government needs to develop tools and measures to address them. Delivery date is captured and time lag between delivery and verification monitored. Expenditure Control: Key Features, Stages, and Actors. Budget cover (against the relevant appropriation) is checked after deducting all expenditures previously approved. The valuations also usefully inform the employer and employee contribution rates to make the pension scheme sustainable. 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. These expenditure limits may not be strict limits for all types of expenditure. Spending agencies submit month-wise expenditure plans (along with their budget submission) to serve as the basis for issuance of spending authority (warrant/allotment) after budget approval. Government cash manager and issuer of checks and/or electronic transfer instructions work in coordination to ensure funds are available for payments. A strict legal interpretation of a cash appropriation would mean that the appropriation is utilized when the government makes a cash payment. Exceptional procedures eliminated by streamlining the control framework and business processes to address priority needs. Accrual-based budgeting systems enforce limits on the incurrence of liabilities, expenses or expenditure even when no immediate cash transactions are involved. Table 4 lists suggested indicators that could be used to assess progress at different stages of the expenditure cycle. As such, the focus of expenditure control at the commitment phase of budget execution has moved from an annual to a multiannual basis, i.e., the total cost of a legal commitment into which the government is entering into is fully recorded against the available multiannual commitment authorizations/AEs. The objective of expenditure control is to ensure that public resources are spent as intended, within authorized limits, and following sound financial management principles. Financial accounts are prepared by the ministries and agencies and consolidated by the ministry of finance. Key strengths: separation of responsibility for key control tasks; tracking key stages of expenditure cycle; and centralized repository of expenditure data; Key challenges: frequent and redundant controls make the expenditure process slow (and encourage proliferation of special procedures); interference by central agencies may undermine responsibilities of line managers; and possible manipulation of the complementary period. Three of the seven stages (commitment, verification, and payment) involve a third party (a creditor, supplier, beneficiary, etc.) If an FMIS is envisaged, its configuration and rollout should explicitly be linked to planned expenditure control reforms. In some countries, ministries of finance regard expenditure as having taken place when funds are transferred from the ministry of finance or treasury bank accounts to the line ministries (or first-tier spending units). Apportionments/warrants are issued by the finance ministry which also monitors budget execution by line ministries and agencies on a regular basis. Pattanayak, S., and J. Cooper, 2011, Chart of Accounts: A Critical Element of the Public Financial Management Framework, Technical Notes and Manuals (Washington: International Monetary Fund). Some types of budget appropriationsdebt service, for examplemay not be subject to a strict spending limit and may be revised according to developments in interest rates and exchange rates. Apportionment of authorization for specific periods and spending units. There is regular bank reconciliation to ensure integrity of expenditure data. Percentage of reserved amount that materializes as commitment; and average time lag between reservation and commitment. A comprehensive commitment control system is in place that captures not only one-off (purchase order type) but also multi-year (e.g., projects contacts) commitments. This is what constitutes the hierarchical and risk-based control (control modul de la dpense) that Morocco has started to implement since 2008 (based on Decree n 207-1235 of November 4, 2008). The strengthening of the expenditure control framework should not be viewed as an independent activity and should be integrated with other PFM reforms, including changes to budget execution processes. This technical note and manual (TNM) addresses the following issues: Key stages of the government expenditure chain; The roles and responsibilities of the key institutional actors in exercising those controls; Approaches to expenditure control in different PFM traditions; Diagnosing weaknesses in expenditure control systems; and.

Apportionment framework and cash plans/ forecasts take account of commitment profiles and associated expected payment schedules. When several departments in the ministry of finance and other agencies are involved in the supervision of the expenditure cycle, clear business process rules delineating the respective functions of each are required. would still require manual intervention. The line agencies have responsibility for executing their budget and managing the funds/ resources assigned to them. var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; By contrast, British Commonwealth countries do not formally track controls at every stage and typically track only the first and last two stages of the expenditure chain: authorization, payment order, and payment (see also Section IV). Under accrual budgeting systems, there can be differences in both the choice of binding constraint and the fungibility of other constraints. Where countries have cash appropriations and accrual based financial statements, this usually gives rise to differences between budget execution reports and financial statements that require reconciliation. Lienert, I., 2003, A Comparison Between Two Public Expenditure Management Systems in Africa, Working Paper WP/03/2, (Washington: International Monetary Fund). Stage of the Expenditure Cycle, Controls, and Actors. Most countries adopt annual budgets authorizing spending for one year; however, some countries authorize multi-year limits for certain types of expenditure (e.g., autorisation dengagement for multi-year investment projects in Francesee Box 3). Approximately two-thirds of spending consists of mandatory expenditures on programs such as Social Security and Medicare. The accounting officer in the spending ministry, usually the permanent secretary, is responsible for proper use and control of the ministry appropriations. The lack of a comprehensive and credible budget particularly affects the authorization (as the expenditure authority is not realistic), commitment (as ongoing/outstanding commitments are not adequately allocated for) and verification (as the accumulated liabilities are not fully reflected in the budget) stages. In some countries, the ministry of finance uses sequestering to prevent such risks. New commitments are authorized after ascertaining uncommitted balance within the authorized expenditure limit. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 2001, Managing Public Expenditure: A Reference Book for Transition Countries. Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessments (Washington: World Bank) (www.pefa.org). Procurement procedures should provide a fair opportunity for all bidders to compete for government contracts, and be designed to get good value for money and to minimize risks of corruption and patronage. Whereas, in Francophone systems, the financial control officer is employed by the Budget Office, in Lusophone systems the payment-authorizing officer is employed by the Accounting Office. Payment order is issued within the payment due date to discharge the recognized liability.
