Looks at the other nations that have moved toward the fuller use of accrual concepts in budget reporting with an eye to what help their early experiences might offer the U.S. There are significant political, cultural and economic differences between the U.S. and these countries -- Australia, Canada, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the U.K. Nevertheless their early experiences offer some insights as the U.S. considers ways to improve budget recognition of long-term commitments and continues to strive for improvement sin government performance and accountability.

Wage setters take into account the future consequences of their current wage choices in the presence of downward nominal wage rigidities. Several interesting implications arise. First, a closed-form solution for a long-run Phillips curve relates average unemployment to average wage inflation; the curve is virtually vertical for high inflation rates but becomes flatter as inflation declines. Second, macroeconomic volatility shifts the Phillips curve outward, implying that stabilization policies can play an important role in shaping the trade-off. Third, nominal wages tend to be endogenously rigid also upward, at low inflation. Fourth, when inflation decreases, volatility of unemployment increases whereas the volatility of inflation decreases: this implies a long-run trade-off also between the volatility of unemployment and that of wage inflation.

This report offers insights into the controversial practice of accrual budgeting, a budgetary practice common in developed nations, but which has only recently begun to be utilized in developing nations. In the absence of practical guidelines and reference materials for this relatively new procedure, this work draws on lessons learned by the Asian Development Bank in working with countries to improve their financial management and suggests a measured approach to gradually improving governmental accounting arrangements. By doing so, nations are encouraged to chart a step-by-step course from a cash accounting standard to eventual adoption of accrual accounting practices.

This paper reviews the role of accounting in budget system reform from the perspective of emerging economies who wish to adopt the OECD's performance budgeting reforms. While many OECD countries, pursuing the reforms associated with the New Public Management, have moved their accounting systems from a cash to an accrual basis, this paper argues that given the costs involved, such a move is perhaps only worthwhile in the context of adopting much wider public sector management reforms. Moreover, while recognizing that accrual accounting does support public expenditure management best practices, it is also argued that many of the objectives of performance-oriented budgeting can be attained by less than full accrual accounting, and that unless certain preconditions are met it is safer for countries to remain with, and improve, their cash-based accounting systems. For those countries with sound enough cash-based systems the paper describes a possible phased approach to the introduction of accruals, as well as the parallel stages of adopting the new international GFSM 2001 reporting requirements.

Accrual budgeting continues to be used to some extent in all six countries reviewed in 2000. The six countries have taken different approaches in the design of their accrual-based budgets, and all continue to use cash information particularly for evaluating the overall fiscal condition. Since 2000, more OECD countries have expanded the use of accrual measurement in the budget, including Denmark and Switzerland. However, two countries in our study-Canada and the Netherlands which had considered broader expansions of accrual budgeting, have thus far made only limited changes. Two other countries-Norway and Sweden-also considered adopting accrual budgeting in recent years but decided against it, primarily because they believed the cash budget provides for better control, particularly over capital investment. When significantly expanding the use of accrual budgeting, there are several common transitional challenges countries initially faced including developing accounting standards for the budget and deciding what assets to value and how to value them. Countries tended to work through these issues over time. However, a number of implementation challenges cited in our 2000 report still exist. These challenges illustrate the inherent complexity of using accrual-based measures for managing a nation's resources. For example, accrual-based measures experience volatility due to changes in the value of assets and liabilities or changes in assumptions (e.g., interest rates, inflation, and productivity) used to estimate future payments whether or not there has been a change in the underlying fiscal stance. Management and oversight of noncash expenses were also cited as challenges. These challenges have led some countries to modify their approaches to accrual budgeting and to continue a reliance on cash-based measures for broad fiscal policy making.

The federal budget serves as the primary financial plan of the federal government. Although budget decisions are inherently based on political choice, the method of budget reporting plays an important role by determining the information available and incentives provided to policymakers. Further, because the budget process serves as a key point of accountability, the way costs are measured in the budget can have significant consequences for managerial incentives. Therefore, choices about the method of budget reporting represent much more than technical decisions about how to measure cost; rather they reflect fundamental choices about the controls and incentives to be provided by the decision-making process.
