OECD Best Practices for Parliaments in Budgeting

The OECD Journal on Budgeting is published three times per year. It draws on the best of the recent work of the OECD Committee of Senior Budget Officials (SBO), as well as special contributions from finance ministries, academics, and experts in the field and is made available to a wider community in its accessible format.

Their role of parliaments across the budget cycle is a fundamentally important national concern, lying at the heart of issues such as transparency, inclusiveness, and democratic accountability.
