Centros de Responsabilidad

Los Centros de Responsabilidad son la clasificación más general de la estructura presupuestaria.

Es el primer nivel de la estructura institucional del presupuesto. De aquí se desprenden diferentes Proyectos y/o Programas planificados para ser desarrollado en el año fiscal programado.

Lista de Centros de Responsabilidad:

1 [Nombre de la Organización] (Australia)
2 Gerencia de País
3 Gerencia Administrativa
4 Gerencia de Programas

Una traducción un tanto literal sería "Accountability center", sin embargo, me gustaría saber si hay una traducción más adecuada al contexto.

Por lo que leo, los "centros de responsabilidad" están más relacionados con cuestiones financieras y de presupuesto.

En internet encontré "constitutional accountability center", pero creo que no guarda nada de relación con el tema que estoy trabajando:

Budgetary Control Centre / Center


Explanation:
'Por lo que leo, los "centros de responsabilidad" están más relacionados con cuestiones financieras y de presupuesto.'

Scandinavian countries have positive competence centres so > 'centres / centers of expertise', whilst other Central Am. etc, countries have vaguely worded, negative accountability or responsibility ones.

Example sentence(s):
  • Budget Centers. The establishment of budget centers is another important pre-requisite of a sound budgetary control system.
