Podjęto próbę określenia możliwości wykorzystania budżetu jako instrumentu zarządzania finansami gminy. Wielkość i struktura dochodów i wydatków zależy od zasad ustrojowo-konstytucyjnych, procesy gromadzenia i wydatkowania środków budżetowych mają charakter ekonomiczny i społeczny. Istotnym problemem gospodarki budżetowej gmin jest ograniczoność środków i stąd niezbędne jest racjonalne nimi gospodarowanie.
