Abstract
The presentation of the budget for the following financial year was an opportunity par excellence for the government to express its financial policy and, subsequent to legislative approval, to have it enacted. An examination of the development of budgetary techniques over a long period of time, as in the present volume, clearly demonstrates, moreover, that according as the legislature over the years makes its weight more keenly felt in financial matters, the budgets become increasingly more detailed. Gradually also more importance is attached to the drawing up of the budgetary divisions. In some cases the alterations, which served political ends rather than the purposes of clear accountancy, called for corrections so that the financial statements could be adapted to our definitions. This is shown in the preceding chapters.
