Description
Summary:The assessment for the Province of Buenos Aires was prepared jointly by the Ministry of Finance of the Province of Buenos Aires and the World Bank (WB) on the basis of findings from missions. It seeks to: (i) provide the provincial government with a reference tool for dialogue and action to strengthen their public financial management systems; (ii) assess the province's PFM systems and identify and address their main fiduciary issues, as well as their impact on the implementation of World Bank operations; and (iii) contribute in a broader sense to the dialogue between the Bank and Argentina's national and provincial authorities regarding fiduciary portfolio management and reliance on the country's systems. The assessment was prepared based on the findings of missions that visited Argentina in the period 2006-2009 and is based on 2006 to 2008 fiscal years. It was completed with a closing mission and workshop that took place in La Plata, on June 25, 2012 to incorporate the provincial government comments in the final version.
