Abstract
The Government's Financial Administrative Structure faces various
problems, such as a lack of integration among government agencies' financial
systems, poor coordination between line ministries and the CGA office, and a
lack of citizen engagement in the budgeting and reporting process. However,
the study's central aim is to determine the appropriateness of Bangladesh's
governmental financial administrative structure in terms of accounting and
reporting systems. Qualitative data from secondary sources were used to
conduct the study. The study objectives were adapted from the constitutional
view and the government executive branch’s rules and regulation
perspectives to find the result. However, an inductive approach to reasoning
was used to derive research outcomes. The analysis found that the
Constitutional provisions have formed the Government's financial
administrative structure for accounting, reporting, and auditing. On the other
hand, Government planning administrations, tax administrations, and budget
administrations have been established by the orders or regulations of the
executive branch of the Government of Bangladesh. The study's outcome will
help government financial managers’ for accounting and reporting voted and
non-voted expenditures effectively and efficiently. An appropriate
Government administrative structure can ensure the desired result, i.e.,
implementation of the government plans and programs to achieve the goals
for serving the citizenry.

Introduction
The administration is a process of showing loyalty to the governmental laws, regulations, orders,
instructions, and plans of the state to achieve a goal (Arslan, 2017). However, the Financial
Administration is necessary for the smooth running of any government's General Administration.
The Constitution mandates Bangladesh's governmental financial administrative structure for
accounting, reporting and auditing. Article 127-131 of the Constitution of the People’s Republic
of Bangladesh has given financial administrative authority to the Comptroller And Auditor
