What’s Law Got To Do With It?
This paper evaluates Compliance (as a consequential feature of modern democratic fiscal management) and the practice of Budgeting (as a financial plan for a country's fiscal year): specifically preparation and budget execution. The paper explores the Nigerian experience with Compliance, in the context of established Fiscal Responsibility rules, guidelines and laws, on one hand and the informal norms and institutions that govern its operation, on the other. The paper addresses whether or not Fiscal Responsibility legislation has impacted financial planning, and expenditure control and if so, how the impact can be improved. The paper concludes by seeking to strengthen the understanding of the relationship between Compliance and rule adherence, as well as why it is important for public administration.
