Public Financial Management (PFM) is concerned with aspects of resource mobilisation and expenditure management in the public sector (for definition of public sector please read ACCA's policy document 'Setting high professional standards for public services around the world' (2012) Since the private sector lacks the moral sentiment and incentives of a responsible government to provide for various segments of the economy, including the underprivileged, the public sector's role is significant. Expenditure on public services accounts for more than one third of GDP in most countries, hence interest and expectations of these services are high and management of public funds needs to be able to withstand scrutiny from all quarters. Objectives of public financial management: In a business enterprise, effective management of finances aids the achievement of business objectives. Similarly, sound public financial management is critical to the achievement of the aims of the public sector through its role in improving the quality of public service outcomes; operational and strategic decision-making; long term sustainability of public services; building public trust in the performance of the sector; and ensuring the efficient and effective use of public funds. Optimal public financial management would additionally display flexibility that allows the targeted sectors to adjust easily and in the desired manner with the public sector induced changes. ACCA has identified four key objectives that effective public financial management should cover: aggregate financial management-fiscal sustainability, resource mobilisation and allocation operational management-performance, value for money and strategic financial planning and management governance-transparency and accountability Fiduciary risk management-controls, compliance and oversight (Parry 2010).

The aim of this paper is to bring a contribution to the clarification of the terms such as public finance, public sector or government which are widely used in economic analysis or in public finance management. In the Czech environment, those terms are understood differently across statistical, legislative or accounting domains. The paper illustrates a nuanced understanding currently existing. Apart from the illustrations of varying use, the content of terms in question and their mutual relation are explained and analysed from the point of view of a relevant statistical methodology. The paper concludes offering a more robust content of the term "public finance" in relation to the statistical data which are generally used as an illustration of public finance development.
