Synopsis Transparency in Government Operations by : Mr.J. D. Craig
Transparency in government operations is widely regarded as an important precondition for macroeconomic fiscal sustainability, good governance, and overall fiscal rectitude. Notably, the Interim Committee, at its April and September 1996 meetings, stressed the need for greater fiscal transparency. Prompted by these concerns, this paper represents a first attempt to address many of the aspects of transparency in government operations. It provides an overview of major issues in fiscal transparency and examines the IMF's role in promoting transparency in government operations.

Synopsis Transparency in Government Operations by : Arij Talal Farhat
This thesis tackles the importance of transparency in the process of public budg eting in developing countries and particularly in Lebanon. Public budgeting is t he process through which tax policies and expenditure priorities are set and enf orced. Transparency is an important element in it because it would serve as a me ans of accountability. So, to what extent would transparency improve budgetary d ecision making in developing countries? Three basic parts answer this question: the Organizational Theory of budgeting a nd its relevance in developing countries; the shortfalls that contribute to the lack of transparency, namely: overpoliticization, cash accounting, and line-item budgeting; and the reforms suggested to these shortfalls and their limitations. The reforms that would contribute to budgetary transparency are defining the ins titutional setting, accrual accounting, and outcome and performance budgeting. H owever, they might face some limitations. The institutional setting might be cir cumvented by continuous changes to the categories of public revenues and expendi ture. Accrual accounting might come in conflict with the fact that appropriation s are passed on a cash basis which would create some problems as in the case of the cost of depreciation, pension liabilities, and creative accounting. Outcome and performance budgeting can be general guides that are affected by the percept ions of managers and politicians which might come into conflict. They can also b e misrepresented in the budget as internal procedures rather than measures of re sults. Lebanon's situation is similar to other developing countries as to the situation of overpoliticization, cash accounting, and line item budgeting. Future prospec ts would include the demarcation of fiscal authorities of spending ministries, i ndependent spending councils and other pubic enterprises. In addition, accountin g and budget presentation reforms would suggest the move towards accrual account ing and the installation of outcome and performance budgeting. Transparency is a valued virtue of good governance. However, because budgeting i s a political process, transparency is an elusive concept regarding its actual a pplication. Even in advanced technical applications of budgetary transparency th ere are various limitations that are exploited by politicians to ...

Synopsis Making Politics Work for Development by : World Bank
Governments fail to provide the public goods needed for development when its leaders knowingly and deliberately ignore sound technical advice or are unable to follow it, despite the best of intentions, because of political constraints. This report focuses on two forces—citizen engagement and transparency—that hold the key to solving government failures by shaping how political markets function. Citizens are not only queueing at voting booths, but are also taking to the streets and using diverse media to pressure, sanction and select the leaders who wield power within government, including by entering as contenders for leadership. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Unhealthy political engagement, when leaders are selected and sanctioned on the basis of their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, gives rise to government failures. The solutions to these failures lie in fostering healthy political engagement within any institutional context, and not in circumventing or suppressing it. Transparency, which is citizen access to publicly available information about the actions of those in government, and the consequences of these actions, can play a crucial role by nourishing political engagement.

Synopsis Accountability and Transparency in the Public Sector by : Mr.M. Cangiano
This paper describes the reforms introduced in the New Zealand public sector since the mid-1980s. The reforms included corporatization and privatization of most state-owned enterprises, the shift from a cash-basis to an accrual-basis accounting system and the compilation of a balance sheet for the central government and its entities, performance-based arrangements for the delivery of core government outputs; and institutional changes in expenditure control mechanisms. The paper also summarizes the impact of the reforms on government revenue and spending patterns, and discusses lessons learned from New Zealand’s experience.
