Effective public administration control over budget execution is a key condition for ensuring fiscal discipline, transparency, and efficient use of public funds. In Uzbekistan, large-scale reforms in public financial management have been implemented in recent years, particularly through the modernization of the treasury system and the introduction of the Single Treasury Account. However, challenges remain related to preventive control, performance-based monitoring, and digital integration. This study aims to identify the possibilities of adapting advanced foreign countries’ support mechanisms to strengthen public administration control in the treasury system of Uzbekistan. Using comparative and institutional analysis methods, the research examines treasury control practices in developed countries and evaluates their applicability within Uzbekistan’s legal, institutional, and technological framework. The findings indicate that the gradual adaptation of digital treasury platforms, risk-based expenditure control, and international standards can significantly enhance the effectiveness of public administration control. The study offers practical recommendations for improving treasury control mechanisms in Uzbekistan.
