Abstract |
|
|
| This paper examines the role of parliamentary scrutiny in budgetary policy, focusing on the eighteenth Parliament of Jordan. Data from 59 surveyed parliamentarians reveals a modest level of budgetary scrutiny. Factors such as legislative powers, parliament composition, political parties, time allocation, and parliamentarians knowledge and skills significantly influence budgetary scrutiny. The study highlights the correlation between budgetary scrutiny and transparency. The findings emphasize the need to empower legislators, promote transparency, and enhance parliamentarians capabilities to strengthen budgetary scrutiny.
