| dc.description.abstract | Public Procurement is an integral part of governments’ fiscal policies aimed at achieving prudent public financial management through its intended effects (indicators). Concerns are that, procurement in its current state does not achieve its intended objective. It is for this reason the study is conducted to study the intended effects of public procurement on public financial management in Ghana. The objectives of the study are (1) to identify the intended effects of public procurement on prudent public financial management; (2) to identify the effects of implementation of Public Procurement on public financial management; and (3) to identify the challenges associated with procurement process that make it impossible to prudently manage public finance in Ghana. A quantitative research method was adopted for the study and with a sample size of 68, a total of 68 questionnaires were administered and 46 was retrieved indicating a response rate of 67.65%. Data collected was analysed with the SPSS and descriptive statistics was used. The major findings identified included transparency, planning and budgeting, controls, competition and procurement audit with prudent public financial management. Abuse of the procurement law was seen as an implementation effect of procurement. Mismatched annual procurement plans and budgets, political interference and bureaucracy are the challenges associated with procurement process. These findings imply a fundamental problem with the public procurement system that needs urgent attention. Effective Planning and budgeting, transparency and controls should be ensured. Anti-corruption measures should be enhanced and promoted in this direction. | en_US |
