Until the late 1990s, diagnostic work in public expenditure focussed on one aspect of public financial management – namely the budget process through public expenditure reviews.The emphasis has now shifted from management to the governance of public resources, which inherently involves issues of internal control, the availability of reliable and timely public accounts, the availability of performance reports, and the conduct of professional external audit.It also involves more actors.More attention is now given to the effectiveness of legislative and corporate oversight functions (ie: budget and audit committees), public rights and access to information, and the freedom of the media.
