ENGLISH SUMMARY: Using the 2011 Public Expenditure Financial Accountability (PEFA) framework the study conducts a comparative analysis of the Public financial management of Malawi and South Africa. The study analyses and discusses data from PEFA reports of 2008, 2011, and 2018 for Malawi and reports from 2008 and 2014 for South Africa to make qualitative comparisons and assess performance trends. The comparative analysis reveals that South Africa's performance is much better than that of Malawi. The study highlights that weak public expenditure management practices and weak external audit, and scrutiny practices are some of the persistent shortfalls of the Malawian PFM system when measuring against the PEFA framework. Besides the obvious differences in socioeconomic factors, the study also reveals that coordination failures, capacity constraints, and political interference are some of the underlying dynamics affecting the quality of public financial management in both countries. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie doen 'n vergelykende ontleding van die Openbare Finansiele Bestuur van Malawi en Suid-Afrika en gebruik die 2011 Openbare Uitgawe Finansiele Verantwoordbaarheid (PEFA)-raamwerk. Die studie ontleed en bespreek data van PEFA-verslae van 2008, 2011 en 2018 vir Malawi en verslae van 2008 en 2014 vir Suid-Afrika om kwalitatiewe vergelykings te tref en prestasieneigings te assesseer. Die vergelykende ontleding toon dat Suid-Afrika se prestasie baie beter is as die van Malawi. Die studie beklemtoon dat swak openbare bestedingsbestuurspraktyke en swak eksterne oudit- en ondersoekpraktyke sommige van die voortdurende tekortkominge van die Malawiese PFM-stelsel is wanneer dit aan die PEFA-raamwerk gemeet word. Benewens die ooglopende verskille in sosio-ekonomiese faktore onthul die studie ook dat koordineringsmislukkings, kapasiteitsbeperkings en politieke inmenging van die onderliggende dinamika is wat die kwaliteit van bestuur van openbare finansies in beide lande beinvloed.
