Nonetheless, recent theoretical and empirical evidence supports a mixed relationship between these variables. A lack of effective expenditure controls not only threatens macroeconomic stability and fiscal discipline, but can also call into question the integrity of the public financial management system and undermine trust in a governments stewardship of public resources. Expenditures. Similarly, the procedure of using an imprest (dpenses par rgies davance), which does not follow all the control stages and should be used only for urgent minor expenditures, is sometimes used to speed up the expenditure process. A complementary period (generally two months)33 is allowed after the close of the fiscal year to process and record payments in respect of commitments that were authorized before the close of the fiscal year, but for which the actual delivery of goods or services has yet to take place. Payment orders are issued after documentary proof of verification. Accrual-based budgeting systems enforce limits on the incurrence of liabilities, expenses or expenditure even when no immediate cash transactions are involved. The payment-authorizing officer, called the Ordonnateur, is separate from the financial controller. In addition, they may impose limits on accumulation of cash obligations, multi-year commitments, and long-term obligations (such as pensions) and contingent liabilities (such as guarantees). In particular, the new law: (i) divests the financial controllers of the responsibility for regularity control (contrle de rgularit) of budget managers (administrateurs de credit), which was transferred/decentralized to the line ministries; (ii) requires the financial controllers to assess the fiscal sustainability of decisions taken by budget managers to reinforce macro-fiscal discipline; and (iii) also requires the controllers of central agencies, such as the General Inspectorate of Finances (Inspection gnrale des finances), to apply a risk-based approach to control. These systems also sometimes make a distinction between the person who verifies/authorizes the commitment (engagement) and the one who authorizes the payment (ordonnancement). _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']); Reports from the central bank, based on bank payments data classified by bank code (a compressed form of the budget/accounts classification) provided the only basis for in-year control of budget implementation. It was centralized by a 1997 directive that applies to all the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries. Both the central agency/finance ministry and line agencies are involved in various tasks during the expenditure cycle. Options for strengthening the expenditure control framework. The word budget is derived from the Old French bougette ("little bag"). Expenditure not appropriated/authorized by the start of fiscal year. The reform strategy and action plan should provide for monitoring the progress. These valuations measure the full costs of paying pension benefits. There is scope for disparate application of controls by line agencies, particularly when the control criteria are not well defined. This type of spending includes funding for entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security and other payments to people, businesses, and state and local governments. Key challenges: large variations in effectiveness of controls; and reconciling accrual-based data at line agencies with cash-based data at the treasury. The nature of those expenditure limits depends on the accounting basis (cash, commitment, or accrual) used in the budget (see Section III). In national finance, the period covered by a budget is usually a year, known as a financial or fiscal year, which may or may not correspond with the calendar year. To function effectively, this approach requires a high level of capacity in the line agencies with devolved authority, timely and transparent financial reporting, and a strong internal and external audit function. Government Spending: Giveth Some, Taketh Some. At this stage, there is no commitment, but it is known that the expense will be incurred during the budget year and, therefore, the reserved funds should not be used for other activities. 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). The authority for expenditure is given for a specific pre-defined purpose. This is known as retenciones de crdito in Spain (and a similar arrangement in Portugal) and engagement budgtaire in France which precedes the engagement juridique or legal commitment stage. The process of issuing checks should be managed to monitor and minimize check float14 and ensure that sufficient cash is available when they are presented for encashment. The lack of systematic tracking and control of commitments leads to over commitment and arrears in several countries of commonwealth tradition, particularly in Africa. Several Francophone African countries are taking measures recently to reduce the complementary period to one month. The amount should be correctly calculated and there should be no hidden expenses. 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. At this stage, after goods have been delivered and/or services have been rendered by a supplier, an authorized officer within the spending unit concerned verifies their conformity with the contract or order, and that a liability and due date of payment are recognized. fiscal policy. 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. Administrative unit accountable for expenditure. Line ministries and agencies initiate the commitment, verify the delivery of goods and services, and issue the payment order (. Payroll controls (a subset of commitment control): The objective of payroll controls is to control personnel expenditures and staffing numbers. This TNM has benefited from review and comments of M. Cangiano, M. Fouad, R. Hughes, R. Allen, R. Boukezia, B. Chevauchez, S. Flynn, D. Gentry, T. Hansen, R. Hurtado Arcos, C. Iles, D. Last, J. Menkulasi, D. Moretti, M. Nozaki, B. Olden, M. Pessoa, J Seiwald, H. van Eden, A. Veloz, B. Wiest, and several other colleagues from both the PFM divisions of FAD. Warrants/allotments are not used as a cash rationing tool. 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. If accounting is on cash-basis, there is regular reporting and monitoring of overdue payables. 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. To be able to exercise upfront control over the future resource requirements related to pensions, countries implementing accrual budgeting (e.g., the UK, Australia and New Zealand) include the accruing cost and any unfunded liabilities of pension schemes17 within budgetary limits for each government department.18. This deficit provides an indication of the financial health of the economy. For example, in the United States mandatory or entitlement programs, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and certain other programs are not controlled by annual appropriations, except for the requirement to show a corresponding increase or decrease in the costs of these programs due to any envisaged changes. They maintain systems of internal control, and regularly report to the ministry of finance and other central agencies on their financial operations. Apportionment usually follows two steps: (i) apportionment by the ministry of finance, which consists of releasing the appropriation on a quarterly or monthly basis to the line ministries; and (ii) allotment by the line ministries or main spending units of their apportioned appropriations to their subordinate spending units. Therefore, there would be no under-execution of the budget under these circumstances. This model assigns both the authority to spend and the responsibility to ensure the regularity of each transaction to the same agency. Commitment. The paper also examines the influence of different administrative traditions on types of expenditure controls, including the authority and responsibility of various institutional actors. Therefore, after warrant releases, line ministries have the power to: (i) make commitments against their budget appropriations and authorized cash ceilings without reference to the ministry of finance; (ii) issue payment orders to liquidate those commitments that have materialized; and (iii) prepare accounts of their expenditures. 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. describes the (i) types of controls applied at each stage of the chain, their objectives, and key features; (ii) nature of expenditure limits in cash-based, commitment-based and accrual-based budgeting environments; (iii) centralized vs. decentralized approach to the exercise of those controls; and (iv) authority and responsibility of various Different expenditure control systems bring with them their own advantages, but also their own potential weaknesses. Key strengths: line agencies directly accountable for the use/control of their appropriations; and no complementary period. However, even in such cases and in line with the principles of budget comprehensiveness, transparency, and accountability, such expenditures should be included in the budget documentation, and subjected to the same regularity controls discussed in Section III (see Table 1). Key strengths: centralized payment and treasury accounting system. Lienert, I., and F. Sarraf, 2001, Systemic Weaknesses of Budget Management in Anglophone Africa, Working Paper WP/01/211, (Washington: International Monetary Fund). Bank reconciliations, among other things, are critical to identifying potential misappropriation of public money. Budget modifications during the year are done according to legally prescribed processes (e.g., virements, contingency reserves, and supplementary/revised budgets), transparently, and in a way that promotes governments chosen objectives. Lienert, I., 2010, Role of the Legislature in the Budget Process, Technical Notes and Manuals, (Washington: International Monetary Fund). Cash Management: How Do Countries Perform Sound Practices? Following confirmation that sufficient liquidity is available, a designated official approves the payment and issues a payment order. A change management strategy should also be developed and implemented, taking into consideration the implications of the reform strategy for diverse stakeholders, from senior officials to agency heads, and the personnel who will support the new systems. discusses specific measures for strengthening expenditure controls and addressing weaknesses in countries at different levels of administrative capacity (Section VI). Check float amount is the total amount of outstanding checks that have been issued, but have yet to be encashed. The author is also grateful to K. Douglass for her assistance with data analysis. Most budget execution control operations are delegated to the line ministries. Georgia Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability Performance Assessment Report: City of Batumi. It is a statement of the estimated receipts and expenditure of the Government in a financial year (which begins on 01 April of the current year and ends on 31 March of the following year). 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. Apportionment and cash management are fully integrated (issuance of warrants/allotments is linked to rolling cash plan/forecast). There is also lack of control over agencies with own revenue outside the treasury system. Authorization of expenditure. In countries of the British Commonwealth tradition, officials in spending agencies are charged with initiating and authorizing expenditure transactions, from commitment to payment, based on apportionments/allotments/warrants issued by the ministry of finance. When it increases, aggregate demand increases, and we expect the economy to grow higher. Where centralized payment and/or payroll systems exist, they may also be responsible for authorizing payment orders and/or making payments. government budget, forecast by a government of its expenditures and revenues for a specific period of time. It forms aggregate demand in addition to household consumption, business investment, and net exports. The issuance of payment orders and checks may be decentralizedwith spending ministries carrying out these tasks and reporting back to the centeror centralized in a treasury department, typically called the accountant general's department within the ministry of finance, which acts both as paymaster and prepares the final accounts of the government. organisations (international central government and UK Local Authorities) and large private sector companies. Officials of the finance ministry and the public accounting directorate play an important role during the apportionment, commitment and payment stages. bank accounts (as reflected in bank statements). Allen, R., and others, 2015, The Evolving Functions and Organization of Finance Ministries, Working Paper WP/15/232 (Washington: International Monetary Fund). In addition to it, the Budget contains: Estimates of revenue and capital receipts, Ways and means to raise the revenue, Mainly commitment, verification, payment order and payment stages, but also at other stages. Examples of this include lowering taxes and raising government spending. Verification (or certification). 2, No. Table 4 lists suggested indicators that could be used to assess progress at different stages of the expenditure cycle. This may lead to potential arrears. Elementary and secondary education, utilities, public safety, health, roads, street lamps, signs, and traffic lights are the main areas of expenditure of the local governments. 3. The purpose of apportionment is to prevent spending agencies from incurring obligations at a rate which would require the authorization of additional funds for the fiscal year in progress.8 Once expenditure authorization is in place, it is apportioned for specific periods and/or specific spending units. The line ministries have substantial authority in executing the budget. 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. For example, the Social Security Act requires the government to provide payments to beneficiaries based on the amount of money they've earned and other factors. /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */ As such, the AEs are consumed at the commitment stage of the expenditure or the legal act of signing a contract of the State with a third party.1 In the case of a commitment running over several years, its associated CP is spread over several budget years up to the cumulative maximum amount of the initial multiannual AE. This information is then used for preparing the baseline estimates of the detailed medium-term budget forecast. For example, under an accrual-based budgeting system, the ministry of finance may: (i) delegate to spending agencies all decisions on their cash requirements and the timing of cash payments as long as the agencies conform to the expenses authorized on accrual basis; (ii) enforce a cash limit (either at an aggregated level or at a more detailed level) in addition to the amount of accrual-based expense authorized; and/or (iii) allow spending agencies to move cash appropriation into accrual-based expense but not vice versa.20, Commitment-based Expenditure Limits in France.

Arrears are the expenditures at the verification stage that have not been paid by the due date of payment specified either in specific contracts or procurement legislation or assumed under general commercial terms.12. The allocation of responsibility to various actors in the exercise of expenditure controls is heavily influenced by their respective administrative traditions of PFM and level of development. For example in Austria, as highlighted by external audit a few years ago, there were instances of either delayed or no recording of commitments until their respective payments materialized. No cash availability to make payments within the time horizon of apportionment. In fact, excessive duplication of controls is a common disease in many countries, particularly in Francophone Africa, which not only results in ineffciency in executing expenditure but also leads to rent seeking by officials who intervene at different stages of the expenditure transaction. Commitment-based budgeting systems impose limits on both expenditure commitments and cash payments. Show answer Next. Ensures that transactions are properly recorded and accounted for to produce timely and reliable fiscal reports and financial statements. This requires that personnel database (where personnel information files are kept) and payroll records be linked, regularly updated, and reconciled. 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. Payment order. var _paq = window._paq || []; Budget cover (against the relevant appropriation) is checked after deducting all expenditures previously approved. 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. 7/2009 sets a maximum one month complementary period. In some countries, it may conduct its own pre-payment audits prior to executing payments. This is especially true for expenditure on multi-annual investment projects (see Section III for multi-year expenditure limits on commitments). Spending units may have bank accounts which are a subsidiary of the TSA; such accounts could be zero-balance accounts with commercial banks, with money transferred into them as the payments are approved, and with their balances swept daily into the TSAs top account for cash consolidation. A commitment occurs when a formal action, such as placing an order or awarding a contract, is taken that renders the government liable to pay at sometime in the future when the order or contract is honored by its counterpart. Before issuing a payment order, the issuing authority will typically check that sufficient funds are available to make the payment. This used to be the case in all but three countries (Cameroon, Mali and Burkina Faso) of the 12 countries that comprise Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. However, overall responsibility for budget execution is assigned to the respective line minister (or the head of an independent State body) who allocates budgeted resources to the various departments/agencies under his/her authority and delegates responsibility for budget execution up to the stage of the preparation of payment orders. For example, payments after the deduction of taxes are frequent in some countries, with negative consequences not only on transparency, but also on both tax collection and competition among suppliers. British Commonwealth, Scandinavian, and German-Austrian, Francophone, Lusophone, and Latin American. It may also have a role in appropriation and commitment controls through its representatives posted in spending agencies (as in Francophone systems). Allowing ministries and agencies to commit and use their resources whenever they want complicates cash management.40. The expenditure must occur within the time limits applicable to the expenditure authorization. the use of policy (such as fiscal policy or monetary policy) to reduce the severity of recessions and excessively strong expansions; the goal of stabilization policy is not to eliminate the business cycle, just to smooth it out. Issuance of payment orders is integrated with a well established cash plan that is updated regularly with inputs from spending and revenue agencies. 1. 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. Weaknesses at one stage of the expenditure control cycle can undermine the integrity and credibility of the system as a whole. 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). Overdue liabilities/payables as a percentage of the value of total payment orders issued; PEFA PI-21.2; and PI-25.3. A unit of government, typically a line ministry, department or agency, is assigned the responsibility to ensure that the appropriated resources are spent as intended within the authorized limits.
