Abstract

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of tight budget Control in terms of budget turbulence on reducing budget deviation. The statistical population of this study was financial managers or experts responsible for the municipality of Khorasan Razavi province. In order to achieve the research goal, 70 questionnaires (70 for each municipality of a questionnaire) were distributed among financial managers of Khorasan Razavi Municipality. To study the research data, structural equations have been used. The data from this study were analyzed using Spss and Smart-PLS software. The results of the analysis of the research data showed that tight budget Control in terms of budget turbulence conditions does not affect the decrease of budget deviation. The budget deviation last year has affected the budget deviation of current year. Budget turbulence effects on budget deviation. The past budget deviation does not affect on tight budget Control. This was the first time that research was conducted with such a budget orientation at the municipal level in Iran.
