CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES""A well-functioning public expenditure management (PEM) system is considered a critical pillar of government efficiency, on par with a low-distortion tax system and efficient tax administration. The paper discusses PEM systems in developing countries using an analytical framework based on principal-agent theory. This simple model can be applied to various PEM systems, and allows for comparisons between institutional settings. To illustrate this, we analyze the benefits derived from the use by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) of two control instruments; ex post audits and ex ante controls, and assess their value in terms of their ability to deter cheating. We derive a set of possible "control regimes" which can be used by the MoF. Although we illustrate the use of the model using developing countries, it is also relevant to developed economies.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/204Government spending policyManagementDeveloping countriesExpenditures, PublicDeveloping countriesPublic FinanceimfTaxationimfAuditingimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPublic AdministrationimfPublic Sector Accounting and AuditsimfManagement accounting & bookkeepingimfPublic finance & taxationimfExpenditureimfExternal auditimfInternal controlsimfTax incentivesimfExpenditures, PublicimfRevenueimfFranceimfGovernment spending policyManagementExpenditures, PublicPublic FinanceTaxationAuditingTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPublic AdministrationPublic Sector Accounting and AuditsManagement accounting & bookkeepingPublic finance & taxationExpenditureExternal auditInternal controlsTax incentivesExpenditures, PublicRevenueLeruth Luc608957Paul Elisabeth907258DcWaIMFBOOK9910788416203321A Principal-Agent Theory Approach to Public Expenditure Management Systems in Developing Countries3802298UNINA
