Download or read book Government Auditing Standards 2018 Revision written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

Download or read book Accountability and the Law written by Piotr Mikuli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses contemporary accountability and transparency mechanisms by presenting a selection of case studies. The authors deal with various problems connected to controlling public institutions and incumbents’ responsibility in state bodies. The work is divided into three parts. Part I: Law examines the institutional and objective approach. Part II: Fairness and Rights considers the subject approach, referring to a recipient of rights. Part III: Authority looks at the functional approach, referring to the executors of law. Providing insights into increasing understanding of various concepts, principles, and institutions characteristic of the modern state, the book makes a valuable contribution to the area of comparative constitutional change. It will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and policy-makers working in the areas of constitutional law and politics.
Download or read book Government Accountability and Legislative Oversight written by Riccardo Pelizzo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the book is to investigate parliaments’ capacity to oversee government activities, policies and budget legislation. By analysing the survey data that the World Bank Institute in collaboration with the Inter-Parliamentary Union collected from 120 parliaments, Pelizzo and Stapenhurst show what tools are available to parliaments worldwide, which tools are more or less common, how oversight capacity can be estimated, how oversight capacity is related to other institutional and constitutional factors. In addition to discussing the conditions under which oversight capacity is greater, the authors perform some analyses to assess the policy implications of oversight capacity. Specifically, they look at the impact of oversight capacity on the quality of democracy and on the level of good governance.
Download or read book Principles of Federal Appropriations Law Chapter 1 Introduction Fourth Edition 2016 Revision written by U. S. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are pleased to present the first two chapters of the fourth edition of Principles of Federal Appropriations Law, commonly known as the "Red Book." Our objective in this publication is to present a basic reference work covering the legal issues that arise as the Comptroller General carries out his statutory duties to issue decisions and opinions concerning the use and obligation of appropriated funds. Our approach in Principles is to lay a foundation with text discussion, using specific legal authorities to illustrate the principles discussed, their application, and exceptions. These authorities include GAO decisions and opinions, judicial decisions, statutory provisions, and other relevant sources. We encourage users to begin with Chapter 1, which provides a general framework and context for all that follows. Chapter 1 includes a section regarding citations to GAO case law and other relevant GAO material and an explanation of those other materials. We have tried to be simultaneously basic and detailed-basic so that the publication will be useful as a "teaching manual" and guide for the novice or occasional user (lawyer and nonlawyer alike) and detailed so that it will assist those requiring a more in-depth understanding. The purpose of Principles is to describe existing authorities; it should not be regarded as an independent source of legal authority. The material in this publication is, of course, subject to changes in statute or federal and Comptroller General case law. Also, it is manifestly impossible to cover in this publication every aspect and nuance of federal appropriations law. We have not attempted to include all relevant decisions, and we admit (albeit grudgingly) that errors and omissions probably are inevitable. Principles should therefore be used as a general guide and starting point, not as a substitute for original legal research. It is also important to emphasize that we have focused our attention on issues and principles of government-wide application. In various instances, agency-specific legislation may provide authority or restrictions somewhat different from the general rule. While we have noted many of these instances for purposes of illustration, a comprehensive cataloguing of such legislation is beyond the scope of this publication. Thus, failure to note agency-specific exceptions in a given context does not mean that they do not exist.

Download or read book Australian Administrative Law written by Matthew Groves and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of administrative law in Australia has continued in an unabated form since the introduction of innovative reforms in the mid-seventies. The centre plank of these reforms was the establishment of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal with follow-on reforms relating to the Ombudsman, judicial review and freedom of information legislation. The impact of these reforms has been vast and significant. This 2007 book seeks to take stock of the growth and development of administrative law principles. Particular attention is paid to the important cases and key doctrines which provide the theoretical underpinnings of these principles. In this book a team of highly respected administrative law scholars and jurists aim to provide a lucid exposition of the relevant case law, principles and doctrines. The book should illuminate the fundamental features of Australian administrative law and should prove useful to students and practitioners interested in this field.

Download or read book Measuring Accountability in Public Governance Regimes written by Ellen Rock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government accountability is generally accepted to be an essential feature of modern democratic society; while others might turn a blind eye to corruption and wrongdoing, those who value accountability would instead shine a bright light on it. In this context, it is common to hear claims of accountability 'deficit' (a particular mechanism or area is lacking in accountability) and 'overload' (a particular mechanism or area over-delivers on accountability). Despite the frequency of references to these concepts, their precise content remains undeveloped. This book offers an explanation, as well as a framework for future exploration, of these concepts. It highlights the difficulty of defining a benchmark that might be used to measure the amount of accountability in a particular situation, and also the challenge of mapping out accountability mechanisms as a system. While difficult, if accountability is indeed a foundational concept underpinning our system of government, there is merit in meeting these challenges head-on.
