Article 1 of the Accounting Law establishes that this Law is mandatory for the Executive, Legislative and Judicial powers of the Federation, the states and the Federal District; the town councils of the municipalities; the political-administrative bodies of the territorial demarcations of the Federal District; the entities of the parastatal public administration, whether federal, state or municipal, and the autonomous federal and state bodies.

The information generated by government accounting is in the public domain, it is based on the record of economic-financial operations carried out with company resources and as such, it is mandatory disclosure and reports on the results of public management. The Government Accounting System is made up of the set of records, procedures, criteria, and reports structured on the basis of common technical principles intended to capture, value, record, classify, report, and interpret in a systematic way, transactions, transformations, identifiable events and quantifiable that, derived from economic activity and expressed in monetary terms, modify the economic, financial and patrimonial situation of public entities in particular and of public finances in general.

What is a Master in Government? This degree generally provides students with a wide range of knowledge as they learn how to examine social institutions, including exploring areas of reform and creating change within society. Individuals in the program may learn the practice and theory of politics and policy-making. Some learning institutions allow students to specialize in an area such as political communication, security studies or democracy studies and governance.
Students who obtain a master's degree in government learn a wide range of skills, such as the ability to identify and analyze problems and then create effective solutions, resulting in well-rounded individuals who can create competitive resumes. Many students have a strong working knowledge of government, economics, statistics and policy analysis. The degree may teach individuals how to speak efficiently in public, listen more actively and better manage their time.
There is no set number to describe the cost of earning a degree in government. Generally, each learning institution sets its own price per credit hour, and each country has its own laws regarding how much a college can charge. The possibility of grants and scholarships may also change the price.
