Among others, the Committee is mandated to: investigate, inquire into and report on all matters related to coordination, control and monitoring of the national budget; examine the Budget Policy Statement; examine Bills related to the national budget. All Bills are submitted to the Budget and Appropriations for analysis in terms of their financial implications. Performance against the budget is monitored by departmental committees who then make recommendations to the BAC when budget allocations are considered. The Committee invites chairpersons of all Departmental Committees to make presentations on the budgets of their relevant departments during the consideration of the budget.
