Resource Accounting and Budgeting
Resource Accounting and Budgeting (RAB) is a system of planning, controlling and reporting on public spending for government.
RAB was launched in 1993, with a commitment to introduce resource accounting. This was followed by a White Paper in 1995 (Cm2929), which gave a commitment to use resource accounting as the basis of public expenditure planning and control.
Resource Accounting is the application of accruals accounting for reporting on the expenditure of central government and a framework for analysing expenditure by departmental aim and objectives, relating these to outputs where possible.

The HM Treasury Annual Report and Accounts 2006-07 was published on Monday 4 June 2007.
For the first time this year, the Treasury Group (HM Treasury, the Office of Government Commerce and the UK Debt Management Office) combined its spring Departmental Report with its Resource Accounts to form a single report, giving a comprehensive account of the Treasury's use of resources in 2006-07.
