The purpose of the public finance
management assessment of South Sudan s Unity State is to
assess the Public Finance Management (PFM) system
performance of the state government using the Public
Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) framework.
The execution of the assessment was limited due to
prevailing security issues in the state at the time of the
assessment. The assessment team after analysis of the
information available to them arrived at the following
observations: 1) the budget is prepared with due regard to
state government policy, which is consistent with the
Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) framework;
2) an electronic payroll system was established during 2010;
3) an integrated financial management information system has
been established; 4) legislative oversight has been
strengthened, and 5) government-donor interaction has been
strengthened. However, the assessment team also deduced that
certain challenges are also to be addressed: i) meaningful
budget performance reports are still not being produced, nor
are annual financial statements; ii) Procurement is
undertaken entirely through single sourcing, perhaps
resulting in higher costs of delivering public services than
necessary; iii) there appear to be control weaknesses in a
number of areas, and iv) taxpayer education services have
not yet been prepared and a unique taxpayer identification
number system is not yet in place. |
