Our key role encompasses the allocation of resources through the coordination, compilation, and monitoring of the national budget's expenditures and revenues, while also conducting a thorough analysis of the government's financial position. The preparation and oversight of the national budget must align with the provisions outlined in the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) of 2001, along with its subsequent amendments. This process necessitates collaboration with the National Revenue Board, the National Tenders Board, and the Cabinet's Special Committee on Budget Policies.
The development of budget forecasts is integral to the effective implementation of Forward Estimates and our team are instrumental in the development of such forecasts. We are committed to providing pertinent advice and detailed reports regarding the budgetary situation to the Cabinet, facilitated through the CEO and the Minister of Finance.
Budget estimates and Supplementary tabled to Parliament on an annual basis undergo a vigorous process of analysis, compilation and reviews prior to finalisation, and our team is proud to play a central role in this process.
