Abstract

The research aims to identify the essential variables that cause the inefficiency of
decisions to allocate public expenditures and that cause the inability to determine the optimal
mix of aspects of public expenditure, in addition to providing a suggested approach to reduce
these variables and rationalize allocation decisions.
Through this research, the researcher tries to answer the research question related to
how to rationalize public expenditure allocation decisions?
The researcher conducted an analytical study of a number of previous research studies
in both the accounting and economic literature which discussed public expenditure allocation
and the measurement of social benefits, The researcher also conducted a practical study based
on a survey of a number of experts in both economic and accounting literature and public
finance science in a number of countries registered in the International Monetary Fund
database, with the aim of testing the research hypotheses and the proposed methodologies that
he thinks as their ability to reduce the causes of inefficiency decisions allocation.
The results of this research are the acceptance of the research hypotheses that have been
formulated and concluded that the process of allocating public expenditures lacks an objective
measurement of information related to the inputs and outputs of the allocation, and the
possibility of achieving this information through the accounting measurement of the return on
public expenditure that the researcher put forward as a new target for measurement.
