Federal finances are managed through an elaborate structure of decision processes and information systems. Many of these processes and systems, now obsolete face ever-increasing difficulties in coping with the demands placed upon them. The most visible evidence of difficulties is the enormous cost in time, energy, and public confidence involved in the annual search for consensus on the budget. Problems elsewhere in the structure that are less visible but equally real include: (1) the processes by which we decide how much to spend, and for what purposes, are cumbersome, repetitive, and time-consuming, (2) controls over how federal money is spend are detailed and burdensome, but they are routinely found to be ineffective in preventing abuses, and (3) budgeting, accounting, and management information stems often yield data that are unreliable, and all too often irrelevant.

GAO reported on the reasons why a major overhaul is needed in the financial management structure of the government and discussed some of the most important elements it would propose for a new system. GAO has found that, while present financial reports provide a great deal of information, there are few reliable cost data that are essential for monitoring program execution, anticipating cost overruns, and providing a basis for future program and budget planning. GAO also noted: (1) a lack of reliable information on weapon systems; (2) inadequate disclosure of the costs and liabilities of major commitments such as retirement benefits; (3) unstructured planning for capital investment; and (4) antiquated financial management systems. GAO believes that a need exists for: (1) strengthened accounting, auditing, and reporting; (2) improved planning and programming; (3) a streamlined budget process; and (4) systematic measurement of performance. In addition, GAO believes that new systems will have to be designed and installed that take advantage of the latest technology. To operate the new structure efficiently, financial management responsibilities within the federal government may need adjustment, and a staff of skilled executives will have to be hired and trained to operate the financial management system effectively.

Responding to a critical need in government for ways to manage costs better and improve productivity, The author gives practitioners and advanced students of public administration not just the statistical methods they require but also the hands-on skills they need and will use daily. His book introduces cost and management accounting, shows how to use decision-making tools in solid problem-solving situations, and lays out measures to help manage an organization's productivity. Also covered are such topics as cost estimation, benefit-cost analysis, simulation, inventory analysis, network modeling, mathematical programming, game theory, and more. The result is a readable and focused resource that facilitates the reader's grasp of two of the most critical elements in the successful operation of any organization: cost and optimization. The book is organized in three parts. Part I deals with costs in government and emphasizes cost behavior, cost analysis, and cost accounting. Part II treats basic optimization techniques that are useful in cost management. Included are classical optimization, network analysis, mathematical programming, and games and decisions. In Part III the author deals with special cases in cost and optimization, particularly multivariate analysis, productivity management, and some related topics in general management. The book succeeds in presenting these complex issues clearly and in an accessible manner, and adds examples from public sector experience which will resonate with practitioners and students alike.
