GOVERNMENT BUDGETING PROCESS


Government budgeting is the critical exercise of allocating revenues and borrowed funds to attain the economic and social goals of the country. It also entails the management of government expenditures in such a way that will create the most economic impact from the production and delivery of goods and services while supporting a healthy fiscal position

IMPORTANCE
Government budgeting is important because it enables the government to plan and manage its financial resources to support the implementation of various programs and projects that best promote the development of the country. Through the budget, the government can prioritize and put into action its plans, programs and policies within the constraints of its financial capability as dictated by economic conditions.

MAJOR PROCESSES INVOLVED IN NATIONAL GOVERNMENT BUDGETING

Budget preparation: the plan is used to determine expenditure and sectoral ceilings; to formulate the function/project activities; and to determine cost estimates; Budget authorization/review: the plan is used to verify the consistency of the budget with approved activities, goals and objectives; Budget execution: the plan is the basis for determining the activities to be undertaken during the period; and Budget accountability: the plan sets the standards against which performance can be measured

MAJOR PROCESSES INVOLVED IN NATIONAL GOVERNMENT BUDGETING


Budgeting for the national government involves four (4) distinct processes or phases : budget preparation, budget authorization/review, budget execution and accountability. While distinctly separate, these processes overlap in the implementation during a budget year. Budget preparation for the next budget year proceeds while government agencies are executing the budget for the current year and at the same time engaged in budget accountability and review of the past year's budget.

It serves as a blueprint which provides the basis for determining the timing, composition and magnitude of the release of budget
