This article aims to describe the financial expenditure associated with the operations and processes of world governments of all levels. Data is drawn from annual financial statements and operational reports.
External review

An import element of that review is to hold regular, perhaps quarterly, public conference calls between management and analysts, which are recorded for anyone to hear. This is however so far (2004) a rare occurrence. More on [ Government operations ]
