and their impact on traditional budgeting practices. In light of recent failures to reform
local budgeting post 1997, it seeks to distinguish between original intentions of reform
and their consequences offering alternatives to local government modernisation,
appropriate changes in strategic partnerships, and new organisational structures. The key
question for the report is the extent to which it is possible or useful to reform
traditional practices, paying particular emphasis to the nature of modernisation in the
governmental post 1997 period. The report includes an in-depth investigation into two case
authorities in the UK. The analysis will include findings from sources beyond the finance
divisions of these authorities. The study is comprehensive, insightful and practical
focussed. The authors concentrate their investigation on a longitudinal field study of
budgetary practice in two large and contrasting English local and produce a detailed
comparison of the two cases. The report concludes with recommendations to users of local
government budgeting. The final chapter discusses the comparison of the two cases. It
provides us with a number of concluding observations: e.g. There is a need for more
participation in budgeting and especially a more credible system for schools to get
involved in the budget setting process and if the school's budgeting system is to remain
centralise dor become even more centralised then policy makers need to have a better
knowledge of educational cost drivers
