Public Spending Code:

The Public Spending Code commenced in September 2013 and updated previous guidelines, circulars and directions in relation to capital appraisal and value for money.

The public spending code is designed to ensure that the State gets the best possible value for the resources at its disposal. The code applies to both capital and current expenditure and outlines what is required of public service managers at different points of the expenditure lifecycle such as appraising, planning, approving, implementing and reviewing.

The code replaces the previous spot check regime with a new streamlined quality assurance process and Government Departments are required to submit an annual Quality Assurance Report, signed off by the Accounting Officer to the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform.
