Abstract

ABSTRACT Effective Public Finance Management (PFM) is a critical driver of National and accountably. This study explores the effectiveness of planning and control influence budget implementation, expenditure control, and financial accountability in public institutions. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research evaluates the existing planning and control frameworks within selected public sector entities and assesses their impact on fiscal discipline, service delivery, and policy outcomes. Findings suggest that while comprehensive frameworks exist, challenges such as poor implementation, political interference, weak oversight, and lack of capacity often hinder optimal performance. The study recommends strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing transparency, and enforcing compliance to improve PFM effectiveness.
