Abstract

The budget is an important vehicle for the government to regulate the economy and allocate financial resources, and deviations in the execution of the budget and accounts will, to a certain extent, affect the government's ability to govern and the public's trust in the government. Keeping the deviation from the budget within a reasonable range plays a crucial role in establishing a modern budget system that is comprehensive, standardized, transparent, scientific and strong in restraint, and giving full play to the function of finance as the foundation and important pillar in national governance. Starting from government expenditure efficiency, the author studied the impact of budget deviation and government expenditure efficiency through the empirical analysis of Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) model estimation based on theoretical analysis and using provincial panel data from 2007-2019, and obtained the following conclusions: (1) There is a significant negative relationship between local budget expenditure deviation and government expenditure efficiency. (2) There is a spatially significant negative relationship between local government budget deviation in education, social security and urban and rural communities on government expenditure efficiency in these areas. Therefore, this paper proposes: strengthening the management of local budget revenue and expenditure adjustments, improving financial performance management and administrative accountability mechanisms, and enhancing the implementation of the concept of scientific budgeting in practice.
