Title: Ethical Dimensions of Public Expenditure Management 
Abstract: Although there are no standards, there are generally accepted ethical principles.
 Experience shows that their non-observance may have contributed to policy distortions,
 uneconomic practices, consolidation of the unaccountable bureaucratic state,
 and to continuing fiscal crises in many governments. The achievement of the goal of
 a civic society requires the formulation and observance of an ethical code on
 the part of the government, and the development of adequate management tools that
 facilitate this monumental task. Recent efforts by international financial institutions (IFIs)
 in this direction do not address these issues and even if their recommendations are implemented
 in full, there would be no relief from the original sins. Part I of the paper explains
 the nature of the sins and Part II considers the alternatives proposed and their viability.
