The more effective and efficient management of state finances is a demand in the life of the nation today. Budgeting and costing is one of the most important parts of managing state finances. As the implementation of upstream state financial management functions, the quality of budgeting largely determines the quality of management of state finances in general. As an effort to ensure more effective and efficient budgeting and costing, the existence of research in this regard is a must. Therefore, the presence of various studies related to cost management in the public sector in particular and budgeting in the public sector in general is very necessary. In the midst of the lack of such studies among academics, Jurnal Anggaran dan Keuangan Negara Indonesia (AKURASI) is here to be part of the current budget improvement effort.
