CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aA well-functioning public expenditure management (PEM) system is considered a critical pillar of government efficiency, on par with a low-distortion tax system and efficient tax administration. The paper discusses PEM systems in developing countries using an analytical framework based on principal-agent theory. This simple model can be applied to various PEM systems, and allows for comparisons between institutional settings. To illustrate this, we analyze the benefits derived from the use by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) of two control instruments; ex post audits and ex ante controls, and assess their value in terms of their ability to deter cheating. We derive a set of possible "control regimes" which can be used by the MoF. Although we illustrate the use of the model using developing countries, it is also relevant to developed economies. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/204 606 $aGovernment spending policy$xManagement$zDeveloping countries 606 $aExpenditures, Public$zDeveloping countries 606 $aAuditing$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aExternal audit$2imf 606 $aInternal controls$2imf 606 $aManagement accounting & bookkeeping$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPublic Administration$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 606 $aTax incentives$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 607 $aFrance$2imf 615 0$aGovernment spending policy$xManagement 615 0$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aAuditing 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aExternal audit 615 7$aInternal controls 615 7$aManagement accounting & bookkeeping 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPublic Administration 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits 615 7$aRevenue 615 7$aTax incentives 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 700 $aLeruth$b Luc$0608957 701 $aPaul$b Elisabeth$0907258 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975152503321 996 $aA Principal-Agent Theory Approach to Public Expenditure Management Systems in Developing Countries$94372353 997 $aUNINA
