The study explores effective managerial innovations in the public sector amid digital transformation and increased demands for transparency and accountability in budget management. Controlling tax payments and spending efficiency is crucial for maintaining financial stability and building institutional trust. The goal is to examine interdisciplinary approaches to overseeing tax revenue and managing budgets. Methods include comparative and content analysis, organizing digitalization practices, and interpreting official statistics. Results indicate that electronic invoicing helps reduce the shadow economy, while informational nudges encourage voluntary tax payments. Open data and procurement reforms improve transparency and competitiveness. Artificial intelligence aids in fraud detection and risk prediction but must be transparent in its algorithms. Digital audits boost efficiency, speed up program execution, and support cost savings.
