Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Audit process of military expenditures: A formal auditing process is conducted annually by the Budget Office within the Ministry of Finance, in coordination with the Financial Administrative Director, who acts as the liaison between the Ministry of Finance and other government ministries. The results of the audits are reported to the Minister of Finance himself. There is specific legislation to require the auditing of military receipts.

The Presidency is responsible for the budget of presidential security.

Other facts associated with the Budgetary Process: There is no difference in prioritizing productive (development) and unproductive (military) objectives. During the preparation of the national budget, the National Assembly calls present and former ministers to account for their spending requests. If questions emerge concerning specific requests, the respective Ministry provides more information or explanation to the National Assembly. NNNN
