This paper defines and explains key stages of the government expenditure chain and describes the controls applied at each stage, including their objectives and key features as well as centralized vs. decentralized approaches in application of those controls. The paper also examines the influence of different administrative traditions on types of expenditure controls, including the authority and responsibility of various institutional actors. Finally, it discusses typical weaknesses/problems associated with different traditions of expenditure control and suggests specific measures for strengthening the control framework. While providing examples of expenditure control practices from more than 32 countries, the paper points out that more than two-thirds of the 85 low and middle income countries covered by the publicly available Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessments have weak systems of expenditure control that are also associated with higher levels of expenditure arrears and a lack of budget credibility. This paper will help public financial management practitioners to evaluate budget execution systems and identify priorities for strengthening expenditure controls. It will also usefully guide technical assistance work related to modernization of government budget execution and expenditure control systems, including the design and implementation of IT-based financial management information systems.

Pourquoi la dette publique occupe-t-elle une telle place dans les débats économiques contemporains, en France et ailleurs ? Comment s'est-elle imposée comme la contrainte suprême qui justifie toutes les politiques d'austérité budgétaire et qui place les États sous surveillance des agences de notation ? À rebours de ceux qui voient la dette comme une fatalité et une loi d'airain quasi naturelle, Benjamin Lemoine raconte dans ce livre comment, en France, l'« ordre de la dette » a été voulu, construit et organisé par des hommes politiques, des hauts fonctionnaires et des banquiers, de gauche comme de droite – parmi lesquels François Bloch-Lainé, Charles de Gaulle, Antoine Pinay, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Michel Pébereau, Laurent Fabius, Lionel Jospin, Dominique Strauss-Kahn… Autrement dit, il fut le fruit d'un choix politique. Ce livre reconstitue la généalogie détaillée de ce choix stratégique, et prend la mesure de la grande transformation de l'État dans l'après-guerre. On réalise alors à quel point les nouveaux rapports entre finance privée et finances publiques sont au cœur des mutations du capitalisme, dans lequel l'État est devenu un acteur de marché comme les autres, qui crée et vend ses produits de dette, construisant par là sa propre prison. « Ce qui est mis en cause dans ce livre, c'est l'évidence même de la dette. » André Orléan.
