The research adopted a descriptive and analytical method, supported by a field study, in order to assess the extent to which budgetary reform—based on a results-oriented approach—has contributed to improving the efficiency of financial management and rationalizing spending. The findings revealed that this reform has helped enhance transparency, improve monitoring and control mechanisms, and reduce certain forms of financial waste, despite persistent obstacles related to bureaucracy and limited human competencies. The study concluded that budgetary reform represents an effective tool for rationalizing public expenditure; however, its success requires a supportive organizational and human environment.otherrationalization of public expenditurefinancial efficiencycontrol and transparencyuniversity servicesAïn Témouchent Universitypublic management.
