Some of the recommendations are: National Budgets should include all government entities performing non-commercial activities. The annual budgets and financial statements of autonomous commercial and industrial entities should be presented to the Parliament at the same time as the National Budget. In order to improve capacity for performance budgeting, analytical and cost accounting in the Government, a comprehensive management and budgeting capacity building program should be designed and implemented. The integrated financial information system (SIIF) Budget Evaluation Module (SEV) should be fully implemented, and a framework for analysis of efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization created. Financial accounting and reporting practices should be expanded. Priority should be given to developing and implementing the SIC accounting module of SIIF. In order to promote a uniform control environment, internal audit units of staff reporting directly to the ministries and autonomous entities should be developed.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTANT GENERALACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING PROCEDURESACCOUNTING STANDARDSACCOUNTING SYSTEMSANNUAL BUDGETSASSET MANAGEMENTAUDITINGAUDITSBANKING SYSTEMBANKSBUDGET ALLOCATIONSBUDGET BILLBUDGET CLASSIFICATIONBUDGET CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMBUDGET COMMITTEEBUDGET COVERAGEBUDGET DECISIONSBUDGET EVALUATIONBUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET FORMULATIONBUDGET LAWBUDGET MONITORINGBUDGET PREPARATIONBUDGET PROCEDUREBUDGET PROCESSBUDGET PROPOSALSBUDGET REFORMBUDGET REPORTBUDGET SYSTEMBUDGETARY ACCOUNTINGBUDGETARY MANAGEMENTBUDGETARY SYSTEMCASH FLOWCASH MANAGEMENTCENTRAL ADMINISTRATIONCENTRAL BANKCURRENT EXPENDITUREDATA COLLECTIONDEBTDEBT MANAGEMENTDEBT SERVICEDEPOSITSECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONSECONOMIC GROWTHELECTRICITYEMPLOYMENTEXPENDITURE CLASSIFICATIONEXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTEXTERNAL AUDITFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYFINANCIAL ACCOUNTINGFINANCIAL ADMINISTRATIONFINANCIAL AUTONOMYFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMFINANCIAL REPORTINGFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFISCAL BALANCEFISCAL POLICYFISCAL TRANSPARENCYHEALTH SERVICESHOUSINGHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTINFLATIONINTERNAL AUDITINTERNAL AUDIT UNITSINTERNAL CONTROLINTERNAL CONTROLSINTERNATIONAL RESERVESLAWSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIONMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT OPERATIONSMANDATESMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL BUDGETNATIONAL BUDGETSNATIONAL CIVIL SERVICEOPERATING EXPENDITURESOPERATIONSPERFORMANCE BUDGETINGPRIVATE SECTORPUBLICPUBLIC ACCOUNTSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC COMPANIESPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC ENTERPRISESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTINGPUBLIC SECTOR DEFICITPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTOR PRICESPUBLIC SECTOR WAGESPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESOURCE ALLOCATIONSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTTELECOMMUNICATIONSTRANSPORTTREASURYTREASURY OPERATIONSWorld Bank10.1596/8347
