BUDGET MECHANI ZATION IN THE PUBLI C SECTOR USING PLANNING PROGRAMMING BUDGETING SYST EM ( PPBS )

Abstract

ABSTRACT Thousands of years ago, devices were used to help man process data. Over the centuries there have been many improvements in these tools which today are computers. In the past, budget formulations was usually done manually with a lot of assumptions concerning some budget indicators. This was probably due to the relatively "unli mited resources". In addition, the budget indicators, data and ability to quantify these requirements either did not exist or were beyond planners capability. In the recent past, critical factors have evolved that have made the necessity for detailed planning and estimation both imperative and for the first time possible also limited resources have made imperative detailed and precise planning. The c r iticall y system of aim therefore of this research work is look into the e x isting system and suggest a new budget formulation in the public sector. The investigative aspect of the work was designed to ensure that the proposed system not only supports but also improve the organi zation performance, meet all users requirements, easy to use and also prov ide software specifications. I It is within the scope of this research work to provide a new system of budget formulati on in the public sector using PPBS. The need for comprehensive and workable result led to the use of some simulations due to lack of adequate .
