Research On Budget Publicity Of Law

The budget publicity makes substantial development in China in recent years. Some local government put the contents of its budget on internet, such as Guangzhou, and the central government also put the budget forms on the internet. The budget publicity has made an important step in practice, and its development also aroused the general concern of the specialists, as well as the public. According to related principles of the law, the budget publicity system refers to the behavior of making the budget information to the public or making it public according to the application of the person concerned. Based on people's sovereignty theory, public finance theory and the theory of constructing harmonious society, the budget publicity gives prominence to citizen's rights. As a fundamental duty of the government, the budget publicity is beneficial to the found of the transparent government, and it can also avoid the appearance of corruption and degeneration and make it convenient to the supervision of the media and the public. In spite of the substantial development of the budget publicity, there still exist some problems on this issue in China. The budget publicity principles has not been established in the present budget law, and it is confused on the definition of the secret scope in the present law of grading state secrets, which is also hard to define in practice. Besides, the right of defining the secret is given to the government, thus the right of the government is over great and the effect of the government information is low in directing the budget publicity. To solve the above problems, we should build citizen consciousness from thought, eliminate ranking of thought, and handle the relationship between secret and public in the process of developing and improving the budget publicity system, which is the fundamental requirements of the development of our country's budget publicity. Revising the budget law, the country should establish the budget publicity principles, define the scope of the state's secrets properly, and make our government's information publicity law in proper time and give material and manpower support in financial aspects of budget publicity.
