Improved Government Financial Management: Transparency and Spending Efficiency

It introduces new responsibilities for financial officers to ensure better budget control and greater transparency in spending reports. As a result, citizens can expect their money to be used more responsibly and visibly.
Key points
Increased Transparency: Government agencies will need to publish more financial information, making it easier for citizens to track how their tax money is spent.
Better Spending Control: Financial officers will have new duties to better plan and control budgets, which may reduce waste.
Performance Assessment: New metrics will be introduced to evaluate how well agencies manage their finances, helping identify areas for improvement.
Swift Action for Vacancies: In case of a vacancy in the Chief Financial Officer position, the Deputy Chief Financial Officer can immediately assume duties, ensuring continuity of management.
