Description and Table of Contents

Description

Examining the recent changes in budgetary processes in the Australasian public sector, this book is organized around two themes: an analysis of the broader aspects of budgetary management, and an examination of the technical practices introduced in recent years to improve the monitoring, management and control of budgets. These budgetary changes have been introduced in conjunction with the new managerialist ethos entering the senior levels of public administration. This book is designed to be of interest to students of public adminstration and policy and for those doing courses on public sector accounting, government departments and libraries.
