Integrated Financial MIS for Local Government Public Expenditure Management - A Case Study of Khajane in Karnataka
Published By: CBPS on eSS | Published Date: September, 19 , 2010Expenditure Management is critical to effective public service delivery, especially at the local
government level. Leveraging on information systems to aid in expenditure management is viewed as an
effective method in bringing about transparency and accountability in this process. Past research shows
that there are a host of non-technological factors which determine the outcomes of information system
implementations. This paper tries to outline these factors by understanding the phenomenon of public
expenditure management which has been implemented through an Integrated Financial Management
Information System in the southern Indian state of Karnataka –the paper also addresses implications for
IFMIS implementation in developing countries in general. The research adopted an interpretative case
study approach to study the phenomenon. The theoretical lens used was a combination of actor-network
theory and control theory. URL:[http://cbps.in/Publications.aspx].
