This work explores how reshaping budget rules and how they are
applied presents a preferred means of public sector budgeting,
rather than simply implementing fewer rules. Through enhanced
approaches to resource flexibility, government entities can ensure
that public money is used appropriately while achieving the desired
results. The authors identify public budgeting practices that
inhibit responses to complex problems and examine how rule
modification can lead to expanded budget flexibility. Through a
nuanced understanding of the factors underlying conventional budget
control, the authors use budget reforms in Australia to show the
limits of rule modification and propose "rule variability" as a
better means of recalibrating central control and situational
flexibility. Here, policy makers and public management academics
will find a source that surveys emerging ways of reconciling
control and flexibility in the public sector.iv>
