Accountability Institutions and the Policy Process: The United States Experience

Paul L. Posner

OECD Journal on Budgeting, 2006, vol. 5, issue 3, 71-96

Abstract: Accountability is now acknowledged as an important element in good governance in the public sector. The term itself is complex, covering many aspects including: the move from accounting to accountability; the need to increase transparency; the importance of the political interface; the distinction between internal and external accountability; the use of accountability information; the interaction of accountability systems with other systems to affect programme results; and more.
