The Country Financial Accountability Assessment is a tool designed by the World Bank to assist its clients. It assesses risks to the development objectives of a country arising out of any gaps or weaknesses in financial management of public resources. It provides recommendation for strengthening the institutional framework and organisational capacity for enhancing the effectiveness of the State’s financial management of public resources. The work on the report of the Country Financial Accountability Assessment for Sri Lanka was undertaken from February to October 2002. This was carried out through combination of field study in specific areas: review of existing studies and ongoing self-assessment reports of the Government, desk research, and extensive discussion and dialogue with concerned stakeholders in the Government, private sector, legislature, media, civil society, and donors.
