The latest approach to the automation of the budgeting process is being tested and piloted in four regions of Ukraine under the “LOGICA” project title. The test is under way in Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv and Cherkasy regions.

The aim of the implementation of the second component of LOGICA as an international technical assistance project "EU for the strengthening of state financial systems of local governments" is to apply the latest models of interaction between the participants of the budgeting process, create graphical representation of real automated business processes in the form of diagrams and models, as well as to apply budget calendar and a number of other tools.

The implementation of the LOGICA project will allow citizens and organizations to receive information that will be publicly available in a convenient format and facilitate comparative analysis of the indicators of a given local budget with similar indicators of other local budgets. The project will help to build a two-tier model of intergovernmental budgetary relations and ensure the information exchange with all local budgets (currently 8243), strengthen the budgeting discipline of the main spending units and simplify the process of developing budgeting documents.
