Building Trust in Government
Open Government in Action
All around the world, citizens, investors, vendors and donors are demanding more transparency and accountability in government. Open Government means more than just access to data, it requires data to be easily understood, user friendly and accessible to multiple audiences.
The Transparency and Accountability portals of the FreeBalance Accountability Suite™ support open data and open government initiatives by providing an accessible platform for sharing government data with the relevant stakeholders.
To ensure that a government’s budget is being allocated and spent in line with expectations, governments need to improve accountability of financial, procurement, and spending. This is accomplished by making government spending more transparent and providing more budget execution information to the public.
