November 11, Fineko/abc.az. At a joint meeting of parliamentary committees during the discussion of the Bill on State Budget 2027, Accounts Chamber’s chair said that although budget planning in Azerbaijan is currently carried out on the basis of applications, the Ministry of Finance is simultaneously switching to a results-based budgeting model as a pilot project.

He stressed that the Law on the Budget System does not explicitly fix the inclusion of non-financial indicators in the draft budget, along with financial indicators, as well as in-kind indicators and the provision of detailed information on them, and currently the document includes a pilot project in only 8 areas.

Drawing attention to the audit results over the past 5 years, the chair noted with regret that inconsistencies had been identified between the reports submitted by the areas that had first joined the pilot project and the data posted on the Ministry of Finance's website.

He stated that in order to prevent such cases and streamline the process, first of all, it is necessary to clearly consolidate the use of results-based budgeting in the Law on the Budget System.
