How do the provisions of articles 203 and 204 ensure transparency and accountability in public finance management?
The provisions of articles 203 and 204 ensure transparency and accountability in public finance management by establishing clear guidelines for the making of any grant or law related to appropriation of moneys from the Consolidated Fund of the State. These provisions require that any such grants or laws must be made in relation to the annual financial statement, ensuring that expenditures are properly documented and approved. This helps maintain oversight over public spending and prevents misuse of funds.
