The purpose of this study is to present legislative amendments aimed at improving the system of public finance management in Bulgaria. Public bodies and public administration agencies authorized to manage public finances are reviewed. The focus of the research are basic laws (repealed and acting) governing the formation of the budget subsystem, construction and operation of the revenue and control subsystems of public finance management in the period from 1991 to 2016. An attempt is made to defend the claim that the legislative changes undertaken during the 25 years of Bulgaria’s democratic development coupled with the adoption of European standards have significantly improved the efficiency of public finance management in Bulgaria.
