PFM framework-G Avwg wKQz panel emv‡ev| Panel number-1 n‡jvt Executive Panel.
Technically it is not exactly the government panel (as we may think). Avwg hw` GKwU cÖkœ
w`‡q ïiæ Kwi †h, what is the difference between the ‘government’ and the ‘executives’?
When do you call it a government? – Avm‡j hw`I the government includes many things
but in terms of PFM Mf‡g©‡›Ui evB‡iI G‡·wKDwUf _vK‡Z cv‡i| What I am saying that, the
term exceutive means a person who is a budget holder and who renders the public
services and to render the public services who spends the budget. Avwg AveviI ejwQ, Who
are the executives? – The executives are the people, who execute the budget for
rendering the public services. An executive is not exactly any particular organ of the
state, like government or legislature or judiciary as we often may think. This is much
deeper than it simply means. The government itself has so many divisions or
departments which render various public services. When we think of an ‘executive’ in
terms of PFM, it means any organization which spends the budget to render public
services. For example, the judiciary is an executive, because to render the judicial
service it spends the budget. Therefore, in terms of this Panel – One judiciary is also
an executive, parliament is also an executive. Why? -- Because they are budget
holders. So, in terms of genesis of PFM or in terms of PFM framework executive is a
person / organization who/which is the budget holder. And what is the job of a budget
holder? -- He prepares a plan (his operational plan) linking with strategic plan like
five-year plans or ten-year plans. He also prepares the Annual Plan and Operational
Plan, and based on those plans he prepares his budget. And after the approval of the
budget by the parliament he spends the budget to render public services.
As he spends the budget, he is accountable for regularity and propriety of the
expenditure. That means, he procures goods and services following some rules and
Page 4 of 196
regulations for providing public services. Thus he incurs expenditure. I repeat ‘incurs
expenditure’ not Ô pays the money’. This is very inportant. ‘Incur expenditure’ is little
tricky or a technical term. You have to be professionally equiped with the difference
between ‘expenditure’ and ‘payment’. And if anyone of you fumbles with these
terminologies, it in no case will be acceptable. You have to be professional and
whenever, wherever you use these terms, you have to use them professionally. You
should not mix up one term with another. In the executive panel all together we can
narrowly call it budget holder.
This executive panel starts with the PAO (Principal Accounting Officer). This
PAO not necessarily is the secretary to the government; he/she might be any other
official as well. In case of judiciary there is no secretary, but there is a Registrar
General who acts as a PAO. For the Supreme Court there is a Registrar General and
for the High Court there is a Registrar who acts as the budget holder. So, in case of
judiciay the Registrar General is the PAO. But for a ministry a PAO is the secretary.
In terms of Comptroller & Auditor General's office who is the PAO? -- It is a matter
of debate. I am not quite clear yet, whether the Auditor General himself is the PAO or
not. I am not sure about it. One can not be sure of everything. If we can conclude
everything, we would be gods| But we are not. So, there will be confusions always
though we have to resolve these sorts of confusions in a reasonable way. Sometimes,
there will be compromises and sometimes there will be straight-line solutions.
However we cannot solve everything the way we want to solve it. To have a favorable
solution our external environment should have to be conducive as well. If our external
environment and governance atmosphere is not conducive, then unfavorable external
governance may affect our internal governance. So, because of the external
environment we cannot find solutions for all the problems. But it should not be the
case that we do not try to find a solution and we remain idle or inactive. We have to
try to find the ways out.
All powers (even executive power, financial power) of PFM come from the
Constitutional articles. The whole of the executive government is designed to render
the public services and also for the PFM. The powers of public services and the PFM
eminently derived from specific articles of the constitution including that of auditing.
Page 5 of 196
If you look into the constitutional schemes, you find all executive powers and the
financial powers lie with the President. And that is why when you issue cÖÁvcb (a
circular) you have to issue it ‘by the order of the President’. The officer who issues the
(circular) cÖÁvcb does not even see or meet the President. Moreover, if you ask the
officer: “did you send the file to the President?” The answer would be ‘No’! Yet the
officer is mentioning it.
So you have to revisit the constitutional schemes including the schemes about
financial powers. I have already mentioned that all powers lie with the President. As
an auditor you have to know the legal framework. Otherwise, you are a mere (Clark)
†Kivbx| And that is where you have to concentrate more, not to the individual
transaction levels. Individual transactions now-a-days have been taken over by
technology. The technology can bring a sea of changes in transactions.
This is not your class in the university. So, I do not want to see any sleeping
face here. If anyone sleeps, I am warning you that sleeping is not acceptable. You are
the officers of the Auditor General and your Auditor General is taking the sessions.
So, be alert! And as I have already mentioned, you have to submit a paper based on
the discussions and understanding delivered through these sessions.
Let us get back to the discussion. So, all financial powers and administrative
powers are given to the President directly from the constitution. But how does the
government system work? Can the President take every responsibility? Or should the
system work through a process of delegation? And that is why constitiutional schemes
say business of the government should be allocated to different executive
functioneries (please note that these not necessarily are the ministries / divisions only)
by framing the Rules of Business (Article 55 – 6)1. And it is said that the businesses of
the government should be allocated as per the Rules of Business framed by the
President. By utilizing the powers of the articles of the Constitution the President
framed the rules accordingly. The rules stipulate: how the government functions, how
the public services are rendered, and as part of the Rules of Business they also define
‘which ministry is given responsibility of which part of the public services’. The
1
Article 55(6) of the Constitution stipulates: ‘the President shall make rules for allocation and transaction of
business of the Government.’
Page 6 of 196
allocations of duties for the ministries and divisions are attached in the schedules
under the Rules of Business which are called the Allocation of Business.
So, the government starts functioning by taking the power form the President
through the delegation of power of the President. The President delegates his/her
powers by framing rules. And in those rules all executive powers (all except a few) are
delegated to the executive government so that the President gets releaved of the
executive functions. Sometimes our (incumbent) President says, ÔÔ I do not like the
Bangabhaban. Why do I not have much work to do? So I get bored, d vci jv‡M|ÕÕ We
could have advised the President, “Sir, you can do one thing, you abrogate the Rules
of Business.” Then all executive functions will have to be performed by the President
himself.
For an auditor, it is also an important task to check the Rules of Business. You
can comment on whether some ministries are working beyond their allocation or not.
You can also pin point the questions of allocational boundary. If any ministry /
division performs beyond its allocation, then you can raise these questions tacitly and
advise the government so that either the government should change the allocation of
the ministry or the ministry should stick to the allocation without encroaching its
boundary. The question may come that: ‘am I raising a policy question? – No!’ You
are not raising a question regarding a policy matter rather you are raising the point that
the government is not following its own policy. The Rules of Business is an important
piece of document which is needed to be consulted and is needed to be in our master
file of audit.

As we go along, it will be evident that in the PFM framework, both the
Ministry of Finance and the Comproller & Auditor General play pivotal roles to make
efficient use of taxpayer’s money. They are the two wings of the Parliament by which
the Parliament guides the executive government through the avenues of the PFM. One
wing i.e. the Ministry of Finance (MoF) formulates the policy document ‘Budget’ on
behalf of the Parliament, while the other wing i.e. the Comptroller & Auditor General
makes the government accountable for non-performance of the policy set out by the
Parliament. The non-performance of the previous year affects the budget of the
current year and thus the cycle of PFM continuously propelled by these two wings.

Moreover, I want that within six months from today there will be some PFM
experts created in the department who can be bought like hot cakes by IMF and World
Bank. You can compete for the positions in the World Bank and IMF in Washington.
Because, now-a-days, the demand for the PFM experts is very high. And even China
is moving towards PFM reforms and China is vast country. They require more experts
in PFM. So I want that, from this department, there will be a handful of young experts
who are competent enough to compete for those types of positions. I will encourage
forming a study group of twenty officers. I have seen a file on my desk this morning
for the study group. But now I have changed my mind. Instead of dictating you first, I
would like to ask you to volunteer for the group. GB 20 Rb †mB officer n‡e hviv GB paper

have any cash and they transact in Treasury Single Account (TSA). The term ‘TSA’
implies that nobody (no budget holder) will have an individual bank account. There
will be one bank account for the whole government. Everybody (every budget holder)
will have access to the treasury for receipts and payments through the second block.
And when we came to this second block (pay & accounts block), we should start
talking about it from the history.

As I have said earlier that the conception of pre-audit is a subsequent
phenomenon. It was not a part at the beginning of the history of our government
accounting. Our history says that, a treasury used to make payments after scrutiny. I
am not calling it ‘pre-audit’. After scrutiny by the Collector (who used to be in charge
of the treasury) himself and his staff, he used to make the payments and prepare the
initial accounts. And the initial accounts were submitted monthly (or twice in a
month) to the Accountant General’s (AG) office. The AG used to audit the accounts
including the vouchers attached. GLb cÖkœ n‡jv †h, Can you call it ‘pre-audit’? Out of the
four types, this is the ‘post-audit before compilation’.
Now, let us talk about another term ‘keeping of accounts’. The responsibility of
keeping of accounts by the Auditor General does not mean the ‘keeping of accounts at
the field level’ rather it is the keeping of accounts at the central level. Therefore,
keeping of accounts at the treasury is not a part of the responsibility of the Auditor
General. This is the responsibility of the respective departmental authorities. But there
was an exception at the centre or at the presidency level: the agreement between the
government and the Auditor General to have a separate arrangement for accounting at
the centre. The keeping of accounts is the central compilation, and below this central
compilation, there is the initial account prepared in a treasury. To substantiate the
initial accounts if you keep anything (any records, books or registers) that is called
subsidiary account. Gi A_© n‡jv, initial accounts ‡K mv‡cvU© †`qvi Rb¨ subsidiary accounts

Avi GKUv c¨v‡bj evKx Av‡Q, Zv n‡jv Statutory Audit. You cannot improve your
statutory audit if you do not have a robust accounting system in place. Your payment
and accounting system should be robust (and now-a-days real time online). We (the
audit and accounts people) should work hard. Generally, the government is allergic or
Page 31 of 196
very slow in this type of movement or initiative. But the Auditor General cannot be
slow like the government. He should encourage, and he should advise the government
to do this (or to take these initiatives). These initiatives are needed for two reasons: (1)
to make our life easy and also (2) to make other peoples’ lives easy.
Why people should come to your office and fall in a long queue? In a situation
where technology is readily available, why pensioners should queue in front of your
office or in the counters of the bank? When there is an Electronic Fund Transfer
(EFT) process, why pensioners cannot get their money in their mobile bank accounts?
And while you send the money through EFT, at the same time you keep your
accounting records on a real time basis. By this way your statutory audit shifts from
ticking and checking approach to overall-looking entity-wide holistic approach.

CGA should play the active role in accounting improvement and in the separation of
accounting function from auditing function (not the separation in the sense of
institutions). This is the functional separation not departmentalization. The separation
of accounts means the creation of a separate authority to handle the payment and
accountings functions. But not giving this authority to the individual ministry. The
separation means separating the payments and accounting functions under an authority
(not necessarily that the authority is outside the purview of the Auditor General), it
might be under the Auditor General. But we make sure that the function is separated.
The departmentalization is one step further a different concept. In departmentalization
respective ministries will handle the payments and accounting functions by
themselves. Zvn‡j †Kvb ministryi hw` subordinate office _v‡K Zvn‡j H subordinate office
ch©šÍ accounting Ges payment handle Ki‡e H ministry (ev ZviB CAO/ZviB Advisor)|
Ab¨w`‡K, the separation means separation of the accounting functions, not
necessarily giving it to the other authority, keeping it within the same audit and
accounts people but handling it separately from audit. The departmentalization means
receipt and payment authority is given to each ministry up to grass-root level.
Henceforth, they will prepare their own accounts including Finance Accounts of those
particular ministries. In a very developed system with good governance structure
departmentalization is preferable and that exists in the UK for last 200 years. Please
remember separation and departmentalization do not necessarily mean the division in
Treasury Single Account (TSA). TSA will remain same in either of the cases.

Session: FOUR
I welcome you all again to this fourth session on PFM evolution and I
especially welcome the new Probationers to this session. First of all, let me give you
the feedback on what Mr. Robiul has said. I really appreciate his attempt on recapping
the last three sessions but at the same time on a critical note (not to discourage him but
to alert him and others) that ‡jL vco vi level was not up to the mark. That proves,
literature review was not done properly though almost one month has been completed
(elapsed). So, I will alert you and others that, ‘please concentrate, and do the
literature review seriously!’ Mr. Robiul missed many points. Just to name one or two
of those points: he mentioned that, budget is approved by the Finance Act, which is
not true. Even in his drawing, the columns and rows were mixed up and many things
were entangled together. That proves, ‡jLvco vi level was very poor. So once again, I
am alerting everybody as you know that there are twenty people selected and you do
not know tomorrow who will be the catch among these twenty. So, with this reminder
let me continue with the sessions where I have left the discussion in the third session.
Please remember that in the last session, I was talking about the Constitutional
provisions regarding the financial procedures. And also remember that (in the last
lecture) I went to the Parliament with the budget documents and the Parliament
approved the budget. And after voting in favor of the budget saying Ôn¨uv Rqhy³ n‡q‡QÕ
the Parliament actually approved/passed two bills into acts. One of those bills is the
Appropriation Bill containing Voted and Non-voted expenditure estimates. But the
voted ones were passed in the Parliament by saying Ôn¨uv Rqhy³ n‡q‡QÕ in the form of
demands for grants and the non-voted ones were discussed (might have been
discussed) but were not voted. Both voted and non-voted ones were included in the
Appropriation Bill at the time of passing the bill. The other one is for the receipts,
which is submitted by the National Board of Revenue (NBR) under its allocation (of
business) through the Internal Resources Division (IRD) for the collection of tax
revenues. This bill is called the Finance Bill and when it is passed it becomes the
Finance Act. The difference between the Finance Bill and the Appropriation Bill is
that when they both are passed the lifetime of the Appropriation Act is only one year
Page 58 of 196
while the Finance Act has an indefinite lifetime. The Appropriation Act lapses at the
end of 30th June every year. Why? Because there is another bill, that will be passed in
the next year.
On the other hand, as far as the finance bill is concerned, if any provision is
made in the finance bill that remains in force for a long time . But for how long? – The
answer is until it is changed by any subsequent finance bill. The finance bill on its
own is not a bill for imposition of taxes. Rather it is a bill that has been brought to
cover up all the related laws relating to taxation. It is a cover-up bill or an umbrella
bill, to cover up all the changes in other tax laws (in the laws where provisions of tax
impositions are there: pre dominantly or popularly, in the Customs Act or in the
Income Tax Act18 which is an ordinance of 1984).
Why is it an ordinance? Why is it not an act? Does anybody have any idea?
The constitution says any ordinance (if required in case of any emergency) can be
passed with the approval of the President. But the constitution also warns that if in the
following session of the Parliament this ordinance is not passed into an act it would be
abrogated automatically. However, with a safeguard clause any action undertaken
by/under the ordinance (in the mean time) will be protected. So in any respect, the
ordinance should be passed into an act. If this is the constitutional provision, then how
could the Income Tax Ordinance 1984 (promulgated long 40 years back) remain as an
ordinance? The Constitution says an ordinance cannot remain as an ordinance
indefinitely. It should be passed into an act by the Parliament in the following session.
An Ordinance is issued only in the emergency period and for that matter in an
ordinance it cannot be said that ‘ the ordinance will come into effect after the gazette
notification’, it will come into force immediately.

Is ‘budget’ a flow or a stock? What is the difference between a flow and a
stock? Accountants never use the term ‘stock’ (Accountant’s stock means inventory
stock). But economists use a balance as a stock and a transaction as a flow i.e.
accountant’s balance is economist’s stock and accountant’s transaction is economist’s
flow. Budget is a flow. Why? because, for a particular fiscal year ‘how much is your
revenue & how much is your expenditure’ are estimated in your budget. So, budget is
a flow. But an accountant says a flow is a transaction. If budget is a flow then what
about the government accounts? When the budget is a flow and as the account follows
the budget, then an account is also a flow. And this is very true or very much true
when your accounting is based on mostly cash basis. Cash based transaction G ev‡RU

Let us start from yesterday’s discussion. Yesterday I said that I was not up to
the mark, I said that my efficiency level was not that much high, still then I tried and
tired to accomplish my job. Threading the beads from last session: yesterday we
discussed that our a budget deficit is financed from Consolidated Fund. To make the
understanding clearer and less complicated, let us assume that there is no funding
from the Public Account like: Saving Certificate. There is no Provident Fund, there is
no contractor deposit, there is no PA financing for deficit. So, there is no PA financing
for budget deficit only option is within the Consolidated Fund. You have deficit and
within the consolidated fund you raise your loans. Raising loan for deficit financing is
the only option, and the borrowing is either from external or from domestic sources.
As I said again to make the life less complicated, foreign financing is not at all
available. In that case you have only one option to have domestic financing. Yesterday
we also concluded that financing should follow the golden rule. The domestic
financing golden rule is, look at your rule book, it’s written clearly, ‘No loan can be
raised for meeting recurrent expenditure or revenue expenditure’. It is the Golden
Rule of deficit financing. If the golden rule is violated you also should have an audit
point. Golden rule says, capital expenditure should only be financed from debt. Why ?
Your asset and liability should match. You cannot borrow in short term to invest in
long term or you cannot borrow in long term and invest in short term. That is called a
mis-match. It is expected that you also borrow for the long term investments. Long

country will grow, the economy will grow, and of course there should be one
precondition that your capital expenditure should be quality expenditure i.e. there
should not be any wastage. You should achieve the value for money, economy and
efficiency.
You have to invest in quality investments. That is also an area where we have
some points to raise in terms of evaluating Financial Statements and all these. As I
