HELPDESK REPORT: EDUCATION EXPENDITURE REVIEWS The majority of the literature on expenditure reviews found within thescope of this report come from the World Bank CONTENTS * Abstract * Query
* Overview * Citation * Links ABSTRACT QUERY How useful are comprehensive policy reviews, public expenditure surveys and public expenditure reviews for identifying the flow of public funds
and their use? What factors enable their ability to inform and promote policy priorities that take into account their findings? What helps align policy and expenditure? This review should
mainly focus on the education sector, but include other areas. It has a worldwide focus, not any particular countries. OVERVIEW The majority of the literature on expenditure reviews found
within the limited scope of this report come from the World Bank. This should be considered when drawing conclusions. Expenditure reviews appear to be useful for identifying the flow of
public funds and their use. A key finding of most surveys is public resource leakage. They also highlight the problem of delays and bottlenecks, payroll ghosts, equity in resource
allocation, information asymmetry and poor record keeping. CITATION Bolton, L. Helpdesk Report: Education Expenditure Reviews. Health and Education Advice and Resource Team, (2014) 15 pp.
