Epigraphic Evidence

Previous authors have argued that Roman coinage was used as an instrument of financial control rather than simply as a means for the state to make payments, without assessing the accounting implications. The article reviews the literary and epigraphic evidence of the public expenditure accounts surrounding the Roman monetary system in the first century AD. This area has been neglected by accounting historians. Although the scope of the accounts supports the proposition that they were used for financial control, the impetus for keeping those accounts originally came from the emperor's public expenditure commitments. This suggests that financial control may have been encouraged by the financial planning that arose out of the exigencies of funding public expenditure. In this way these two aspects of monetary policy can be reconciled.

Control Procedures

The functioning of the financial control system should be aimed at achieving the goals set by the financial policy. The role of the financial control system is to monitor the efficiency of financial resources, the optimality of financial flows, the creation of an information base for financial decisions to address deficiencies or regulate the objectives of financial policy. Based on the application of the systems approach in the study, it should also be noted that the system of financial control does not operate in isolation, but is a subsystem of a more complex system. It is also possible that it should be distinguished between smaller subsystems. The purpose of the article is to reveal the main problems of financial control over the functioning of the system and the mechanism of financial policy. The article substantiates the functions of financial control, which should contribute to the formation and strengthening of entrepreneurship, further developed the principles of the financial control system, by substantiating the principle of limitation of the application of control procedures. Determining the place of the system of financial control in the implementation of financial policy to ensure sustainable development of the agricultural sector, we concluded that the system of internal control is a subsystem of financial policy.

The article analyses the contents and the significance of the Scottish governance system in the second half of the 18th century. The authors point out that English political elite had little interest in governing Scotland and draw attention to the role of the Scottish lobby in the Scottish governance as a tool of interaction between the centre and the periphery. The text reveals how the Scottish lobby distributed various amenities via the patronage in order to achieve political stability, as shown with the elections to the House of Commons. The article also demonstrates the role of Scottish managers as the representatives of Scottish interests in London. The authors conclude that the Scottish political system was different from the English one and note that there were no acute political crises in the second half of the 18th century, which indicates that in the midst of a rapid modernisation the Scottish governance system proved to be successful.

Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy with a bicameral legislature at the national level. Members of the upper House, styled the Senate, are appointed by the prime minister, and members of the lower House, the House of Commons, are elected in single-member plurality electoral districts. In practice, the House of Commons is by far the more important of the two chambers. This chapter, therefore, investigates access to the floor in the Canadian House of Commons. We find that the age, gender, and experience of MPs have little independent effect on access to the floor. Consistent with the dominant role of parties in Canadian political life, we find that an MP’s role within a party has by far the most significant impact on their access to the floor. Intriguingly, backbenchers in the government party have the least access of all.
