November 4, Fineko/abc.az. The total amount of discrepancy in the functional classification of State Budget expenditures is 236.3 million manats.

ABC.AZ informs, referring to Accounts Chamber’s conclusion on the Draft Law on State Budget 2026, that most of the inconsistencies noted in its previous reviews have been eliminated in the submitted draft. The Chamber also declares the need to bring cost planning in some areas, accounting and reporting of expenses in line with the unified budget classification. As a result of Accounts Chamber’s recommendations, significant part of inconsistencies related to the planning of expenditures in the State Budget for 2026 were eliminated.

However, amid the steps being taken in this direction, some discrepancies still remain. Thus, in some cases, expenses, instead of being considered in the relevant areas of the functional and economic classification (in the section, auxiliary section, paragraph, article and subparagraph of the corresponding classification), determined by the unified budget classification, are considered in other areas. In some cases, these discrepancies also affect the indicators reflected in the Draft Law.

The total amount of discrepancies in the functional classification of State Budget expenditures reaches 236.3 million manats, of which 160.4 million manats are inconsistencies that may affect the Draft Law. These discrepancies have been sent to the relevant government agency for consideration when drawing up budgets for the next and subsequent budget years.
