Abstract: Expenditure Management is critical to effective public service delivery, especially at the local government level. Leveraging on information systems to aid in expenditure management is viewed as an effective method in bringing about transparency and accountability in this process. Past research shows that there are a host of non-technological factors which determine the outcomes of information system implementations. This paper tries to outline these factors by understanding the phenomenon of public expenditure management which has been implemented through an Integrated Financial Management Information System in the southern Indian state of Karnataka –the paper also addresses implications for IFMIS implementation in developing countries in general. The research adopted an interpretative case study approach to study the phenomenon. The theoretical lens used was a combination of actor-network theory and control theory.
