Roles and user characteristics as driving forces of information use in the Dutch parliament

Bram Faber and Tjerk Budding

Public Money & Management, 2022, vol. 42, issue 3, 160-168

Abstract: This article looks at how the roles and personal characteristics of politicians affect their use of accounting information. The findings in this article suggest that it is very likely that the quality of debates in parliament correlate with use of the accounting information provided. Political parties should consider age and experience in their selection of candidates and in terms of whether to retire MPs, because age and experience do seem to affect the extent to which politicians substantiate their statements and decisions with hard accounting information.
