| Summary: | The development of government budgeting systems has been adequately dealt with in
economics literature. Studies on programme and performance budgeting systems,
zero-base budgeting systems, etc. have been conducted by academic researchers.
Such works are valuable in providing an understanding of the nature of different
budgeting systems, their usefulness and limitations.
However, to date, there has not been adequate studies on the usefulness of
government budgets in the context of Singapore. Hence, this research is aimed at
studying the role of the Singapore's Budget as a source of information for the business
organisations. It attempts to determine the types of budget information viewed by them
as useful, the extent of its use, and the shortcomings of the present budget
Based on the results of the empirical findings, some recommendations are presented.
The report concludes by pointing out the limitations associated with the research and
suggesting possible avenues for further research.
It is hoped that the findings from this research will be of relevance to the future studies
in the topic "Government Budgeting in Singapore".
