Province of Cordoba, Republic of Argentina : Public Financial Management Assessment

Abstract

This public financial management
 assessment for Cordoba has three main objectives: (i) to
 provide the provincial governments with a reference tool for
 dialogue and action to strengthen their public financial
 management (PFM) systems; (ii) to provide an assessment of
 provincial PFM systems, identifying and addressing their
 main fiduciary issues, as well as the impact of these issues
 on the implementation of World Bank operations; and (iii) to
 contribute to the World Bank's dialogue with
 Argentina's national and provincial authorities on
 fiduciary portfolio management and reliance on country
 systems. The study focuses on budget preparation and
 execution, with emphasis on budget comprehensiveness and
 performance, and on public accountancy and control. It
 describes strengths and weaknesses of the provincial systems
 and analyzes their impact on fiscal discipline and the
 allocation of resources. Chapter 2 of this assessment

 Province of San Juan. Chapter 3 summarizes the
 province's main achievements and challenges ahead in
