The following
are some examples of financial management issues in public understandings,
according to Billy Crafton from San Diego:
·
Inadequate Preparation
Government agencies spend far too much money on both building and
design. The main reason for this is a lack of good planning. This lack of
appropriate preparation causes a significant drain of cash, resulting in a
financial crisis.
·
The Input-Output Ratio is Unfavourable.
Public sector enterprises are substantially over-capitalized,
resulting in an unfavourable input-output ratio. Over-capitalization gets
caused by insufficient planning, excessive building delays, and other factors.
·
Capital Costs
Currently, the cost of capital in public sector enterprises does not
include raising various forms of income, and this cost gets not calculated at
market pricing. As a result, the capital cost gets underestimated. As a result,
prices get set unrealistically, and market trends get underestimated. Even
estimating the magnitude of earnings and losses becomes challenging.
·
The Issue of Pricing
Another issue that a public-sector company has is in determining the
prices of the items it produces. As we all know, even reputable businesses can
lose money if their pricing policies aren't sensible. Because they do not
follow a consistent pricing strategy, India's public sector companies suffer
significant financial difficulties.
·
Surpluses A Problem
Another issue in the banking sector is the declaration of surpluses.
After subtracting operating expenditures, regular replacements, interest
payments, and dividends, profits refer to the resources available after
deducting working expenses, interest payments. However, it has not been viable
to devise a strategy of disclosing surpluses in public sector enterprises. The
government has not established any clear guidelines for public sector
undertakings to follow in this respect.
·
The Difficulty of Obtaining Loans
Government funds get used to managing all public-sector enterprises.
As a result, a slew of issues has arisen, according to Billy Crafton from San Diego. In some circumstances,
the government may find it difficult to finance public sector activities; yet,
if these undertakings rely on the capital market, they are sure to disrupt the
market's financial structure.
·
The Budgetary Issue
The issue of budgeting is still another one. The majority of public
sector organizations do not appear to have a meaningful budgeting mechanism in
place. Budgets are produced, of course, but they are to receive cash from the
government. Budget projections get set high to allow for savings. If cuts are
not implemented to the degree that they get factored into the anticipated
budgets, the entire process becomes impractical.
·
Delegation of Authority Issue
In most public sector enterprises, there is no delegation of power,
which means that prior approval from the responsible authority gets required
before incurring any expense. A person is overburdened with work, and as a
result, he is more likely to make mistakes.
·
Internal Inspection
Every
public-sector organization's accounts get audited regularly. The fundamental
goal of such an audit is to expose financial irregularities so that they get
not repeated. Internal auditors, on the other hand, cause a slew of issues in
the financial world.
