Assembly Page 4 SECTION I: ASSEMBLYS COMPOSITE BUDGET STATEMENT Jaman South District Assembly Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1. Section 92 (3) of the local Government Act (Act 462) envisages the implementation of the composite budget system under which the budgets of the departments of the District Assemblies would be integrated into the budgets of the District Assemblies. The District Composite Budgeting system would achieve the following amongst others: • Ensure that public funds follow functions to give meaning to the transfer of staff from the Civil Service to the Local Government Service; • Establish an effective integrated budgeting system which supports intended goals, expectation and performance of government at the local level; • Deepen the uniform approach to planning, budgeting, financial reporting and auditing • Facilitate harmonized development and introduce fiscal prudence in the management of public funds at the MMDA level. 2. In 2012 Government directed all Metropolitan Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to prepare the composite budget which integrates departments under Schedule one of the Local Government Integration of Departments Act LI 1961. This policy initiative will upscale full implementation of fiscal decentralization and ensure that the utilization of all public resources at the local level takes place in an efficient, effective, transparent and accountable manner for improved service delivery. 3. The Composite Budget of the Jaman South District Assembly for the 2012 Fiscal Year has been prepared from the 2012 Annual Action Plan lifted from the 2010-2013 DMTDP which is aligned to the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (2010-2013).
