Explanation

The Public Financial Management System (PFMS) is a robust, web-based online software application designed, developed, owned, and implemented by the Office of the Controller General of Accounts (CGA), which operates under the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance [4]. Originally launched in 2009 as the Central Plan Scheme Monitoring System (CPSMS), its scope was expanded to provide an end-to-end solution for processing payments, tracking fund releases, and monitoring real-time expenditure across all government schemes [5]. The system facilitates the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) process and ensures transparency and accountability in the utilization of public funds by integrating with various recipient agencies and banks [3]. While the Department of Financial Services and other institutes play roles in the broader financial ecosystem, the CGA is the specific authority responsible for the PFMS platform's implementation and ownership [5].
