International Journal of Business Performance Management, 2000, vol. 2, issue 1/2/3, 30-41

Abstract: A method and rationale for selecting accountability-based report disclosures is applied in this Delphi analysis of 33 New Zealand public representatives who convey their preferences for the content of a public sector hospital report. The findings reveal interest in audited, comparative information which conveys, in particular, indicators of services provided and resource use, and a lack of consensus on whether to reveal profit or process indicators. Accountability implications of the method used and findings are discussed.
