Purpose-
When the financial structure of the Ottoman
Empire was examined, a similar budget implementation as in Western countries
was organized in 1855 with the central administration budget for the first
time, in other words the general budget under the name of " Hazine-i
Celile Muvazene Defterinin Suret-I Tanzimine Dair Nizamname”
Methodology-
Although there is no current budget practice
as it is now, there is some kind of definite accounts documenting the yearly
income and expenditures of the central treasury and reflecting the final
accounts of the year. In this framework, the Ottomans were allocating the
revenues from certain sources to certain services. In this period, the
calculation of the state revenues and the annual expenditures of the public expenditures
and the registration of the records were done. Income was not based on
expenses, instead the expenses was based on income.
Findings-
Therefore, although the Ottoman Empire did not
have a proper budget structure as it is in present time, it does not mean that
the income and expenses were not recorded. As a matter of fact, this study will
examine the possession of a bureaucratic state structure of the Ottomans and
emphasize that every financial practice is kept a record.
Conclusion-
In addition, this study will focus on how the
Ottoman Empire had set out a budget policy since its foundation and explain the
importance of transition into Western budgetary practices. However, based on
the sources of the Prime Ministry Ottoman archives, one year salary conditions
will be tried to be determined according to the month income of the top level
official of the Ottoman Empire of 1887.
