This report considers the OBR's forecasts published 29 November 2010. The scope is the same as C&AG's previous examination looking at the forecasts that the interim OBR undertook for the Budget on 22 June 2010. The scope of these assessments differs from requests by previous Chancellors which asked the C&AG to examine the reasonableness and caution underpinning projections of the public finances. The remit of this work does not include any review of the forecast itself or of specific underpinning assumptions.

This is the fourth report from the Treasury Committee (HCP 385, session 2010-11, ISBN 9780215554796), and looks at the Office for Budget Responsibility. The Office was established by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and given responsibility, as an independent body, for the Government's budget forecast. The Committee sets out a number of recommendations for the body to succeed in its' independent role, including: a) establishment of the OBR as an institution with its own legal personality; b) a requirement on the OBR to act transparently, objectively, and independently; c) a clear remit and set of core tasks; d) a requirement that the responsible select committee should have a veto over appointment or dismissal of the Chair; e) provision for a small group of non-executive directors to support the Budget Responsibility Committee; f) a requirement that government officials support the OBR when it is preparing forecasts; g) a requirement that the OBR has a right of access to the information it needs. The legislation establishing the OBR should not require future governments to use OBR forecasts. The Committee further states that a great deal will depend on matters which cannot be provided for directly in statute, in particular the calibre of the members of the Budgetary Responsibility Committee and of the non-executive directors. For the OBR to succeed, it is vital that it commands confidence across party boundaries and that the OBR's work should lead to greater public understanding of the purpose and limitations of the forecasting process, and realistic expectations of what it can deliver.

For the first time, the Government's fiscal policy decisions have been based on independent forecasts for the economy and public finances. Urgent action is taken to eliminate the bulk of the structural deficit through plans for additional consolidation of £40 billion per year. This will include £32 billion per year from spending reductions; £11 billion in welfare reform savings; a two year freeze in public sector pay, except for those earning less than £21,000 a year; and £8 billion per year from net tax increases, including an increase in VAT to 20% and higher rate of insurance premium tax from 4 January 2011. Plans to support business and restore competitiveness include: a reduction in the main rate of corporation tax to 24% over four financial years from April 2011; a reduction in the small profits rate to 20% from April 2011 and a reduction in capital allowances in April 2012; an increase in the Enterprise Finance Guarantee and the creation of a new Growth Capital Fund; an increase in the threshold for National Insurance Contributions by £21 a week above indexation in April 2011; and a Regional Growth Fund in 2011-12 and 2012-13. The Government also wants to ensure that every part of society makes a contribution to deficit reduction while supporting the most vulnerable. To this end, plans include: an increase in personal allowance for under 65s; capital gains increase to 28%; the introduction of a levy based on banks balance sheets; freezing of council tax in 2011-12. There will also be reforms to the housing and disability benefit and tax credit systems and child benefit will be frozen for three years. Pensions will also be uprated by a triple guarantee of earnings. There will be no increases in the rate of duty on beer, wine or spirits at this budget.

Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

The June 2019 OMB Circular No. A-11 provides guidance on preparing the FY 2021 Budget and instructions on budget execution. Released in June 2019, it's printed in two volumes. This is Volume I. Your budget submission to OMB should build on the President's commitment to advance the vision of a Federal Government that spends taxpayer dollars more efficiently and effectively and to provide necessary services in support of key National priorities while reducing deficits. OMB looks forward to working closely with you in the coming months to develop a budget request that supports the President's vision. Most of the changes in this update are technical revisions and clarifications, and the policy requirements are largely unchanged. The summary of changes to the Circular highlights the changes made since last year. This Circular supersedes all previous versions. VOLUME I Part 1-General Information Part 2-Preparation and Submission of Budget Estimates Part 3-Selected Actions Following Transmittal of The Budget Part 4-Instructions on Budget Execution VOLUME II Part 5-Federal Credit Part 6-The Federal Performance Framework for Improving Program and Service Delivery Part7-Appendices Why buy a book you can download for free?

The Office for Budget Responsibility was established to provide independent and authoritative analysis of the UK's public finances. Part of this role includes producing the official economic and fiscal forecasts. This report sets out forecasts for the period to 2015-16. The report also assesses whether the Government is on course to meet the medium-term fiscal objectives and presents preliminary observations on the long-run sustainability of the public finances. Since the June forecast, the UK economy has recovered more strongly than initially expected. The GDP growth was greater than expected in both the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but that unemployment levels have risen to levels that the June forecast did not anticipate until the middle of 2012. In general the world economy has also grown more strongly. CPI inflation has remained slightly higher than expected in June, whilst public finances have performed as forecast. The interest rates on UK debt are lower than in June. The OBR forecasts that the economy will continue to recover from the recession, but at a slower pace than the recoveries of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The publication is divided into 5 chapters with two annexes.

The Autumn Statement sets out the Government's actions in three areas: protecting the economy; building a stronger economy for the future; and fairness. This document details plans for: public spending in 2015-16 and 2016-17; raising state pension age to 67 between 2026 and 2028; setting public sector pay awards at an average of one per cent for each of the two years after current pay freeze ends; £21 billion credit easing measures to support smaller and mid-sized businesses. To build a stronger economy, the Government is funding £6.3 billion of additional infrastructure spending, £1 billion of private sector investment in regulated industries will be supported by Government guarantee, and the Regional Growth Fund for England will be increased by £1 billion. Other measures on credit easing and enterprise include: up to £20 billion National Loan guarantee Scheme; investigation of alternatives to tribunal hearings; possible changes to collective redundancy processes; two proposals for radical reform of employment law; a Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme offering 50 per cent income tax relief on investments. Education will see an extra £600 million to fund 100 more free schools, and £600 million for local authorities with the greatest demographic pressures. Housing support includes a new build indemnity scheme to increase the supply of affordable mortgage finance and a revised right to buy scheme. Fairness measures cover fuel duty, rail fares, a Youth Contract worth £940 million, and extending the offer of 15 hours free education and care a week for disadvantaged two year olds.
