Resource accounting and budgeting: the New Zealand experience

Article Abstract:

Resource allocation and budgeting (RAB) should not be viewed as a collection of isolated technical financial issues. Accounting, for its part, should not be seen as a neutral process but as an active means for shaping society. The case of New Zealand clearly illustrates these points. In New Zealand, reforms were carried out with the recognition that different information produce different decisions. This resulted in better decision-making, budgeting, managing and reporting, as well as clearer definitions of the relationships among the different players in public administration.
