purchasing are made towards various individuals and legal beneficiaries. Therefore, money resource
flows take place both ways - to and from public funds.
Money r elations ar ising between the state and individuals on one hand a nd businesses on the other
hand, in the distr ibution process of gross domestic product a nd national income, regar ding formation,
distribution and use of funds necessary to meet the economic needs of the state are the economic
content of finances. (Dragoescu, 2006)
