Effectively and efficiently managing a budget is an essential
role of public administrators. There will always be a concern
on how to fully fund projects and programs with limited
resources available. For this reason, public administrators must
work with multiple partners to ensure that the budget is
implemented responsible (Denhardt, Denhardt, & Blanc 2014).
These partners might include citizens, organizations, and
government officials.
The various public administration partners expect budgets to be
managed ethically and within reason. These partners demand
transparency, accountability and efficiency within the financial
management process, which forces governments all over the
world to adopt new accounting, auditing and budgeting
techniques so they can improve the scrutiny and timeliness of
their reporting (Marti & Kasperskaya 2015). Transparency and
accountability are traits that fall within statesmanship behavior
for public administrators. Statesmanship expects leaders to act
in an ethical manner. Transparency provides citizens and other
partners with the information that can help to hold the public
administrators accountable with they are misusing funding.
One of the challenges that a statesman might face during
financial management is the limited resources and multiple
request for funding. There will always be a need for funding
for projects and programs within the public administration
field. This need can lead to money being stretched thin or
programs being underfunded, which can be worse than not
having funding in some cases. Public administrators must
employ statesmanship while working with various partners to
develop compromises on how to adaquatly and efficiently fund
various projects and programs (Kioka, Marlowe, Matkin,
Moody, Smith, & Zhao 2011).
Romans 12:12-13 NIV says “Be joyful in hope, patient in
affliction, faithful in prayer. Share within the Lord’s people
who are in need. Practice hospitality.” It is important for
politicians to be faithful to their causes or believes, while also
being flexible to understand that their way is not the only way.
Rubin (2019) says that the flexibility is necessary to budgeting
because it allows for some changes due to policy
considerations. While we may want to fund policies that we
believe in, the budget is required to work for all people.
Flexibility and compromise are needed through all stages of the
budget process.
