External Stakeholder Accountability
According to Chubb and Moe (1990); Osborne and Gaebler (1992); Wilson (1989), there has been a low level of external stakeholder accountability as it relates to performance based funding. Moynihan (2008) attributes this low level of accountability on state budgetary process. Moynihan (2008) asserts that efforts aimed at greater utilization of information regarding organizational performance has made state budgets less political and more merit-based.
Moynihan (2008) and Radin (2006) contend that policymakers need to provide enticements for state public agencies that employ practices or strategies that improve on the delivery of performance based funding initiatives. Further, Moynihan (2008) and Radin (2006) maintain that the benefit in making

    "Accountability is the cornerstone of all financial reporting in government" (Wilson and Kattelus, 2002). This is measured by interperiod equity, budgetary and fiscal compliance, and service efforts and accomplishments (Granof and Warlow, 2003). Interperiod equity states that current year revenues must be sufficient for current year services. Governments are accountable to citizens. They must justify raising resources that will be used for provision of their services. Not-for-profit entities do not have luxury of many financial practices the FASB allows.…

    Stakeholders Influences

    Stakeholders and the influence they have in a program plan, along with staff and administration personnel, is usually inadequately misunderstood and has room for alterations. Stakeholders are defined as a corporate party that can affect or be affected by actions of the business. A major stakeholder can make or break a program’s success depending on the positive support or negative reactions it conducts. We have to remember that some stakeholders may have strong connections to the community and hold great influence on others who may be investors or potential investors. This kind of hidden influence with authority (mainly political) is very capable of causing major disruption to the development and concerns that impact citizens within the community and how a program progresses. A good example is the recent scandals with a funding collection charity organization, known as Quadriga Arts and the many agencies associated with them, charging outrageous fees for service and never delivering any charity funding collected. They have many agencies’ who state they help veterans and support homeless food banks, animal shelters, to name a few, when in fact they are not providing funding collected from nationwide donations to these charities and non-profit organizations. Too much fraud is going on and this is another factor making respectable organizations to have a difficult time acquiring funding. A few bad apples are destroying great respectable organizations, because of their own greed and recklessness. We have this kind of fraud also within our own government establishments especially in defense…

    Accountability Formation

    The dictionary states that the meaning of the word accountability is “the state of being accountable, liable, or answerable”. This means to me that if I don’t hold accountability for all my gear than I am not doing my duty as a soldier. Holding accountability for my gear is important for many different reasons in fact. For one if anything were to happen to my gear I am held sole responsible for it. Also if it is stolen or ruined for my lack of accountability and due to my actions the company is held back from doing their duties or even I completing mine, I would also be the one held accountable for the hold back. If the gear was stolen I would need to pay for it and it wouldn’t be anyone else’s fault except my own, even if it were simply damaged I would need to replace and/or fix as swiftly as possible to complete my duties so that I am not the one holding back others. Specially with it coming so close to leaving on a mission it is crucial that I hold exceptional accountability for my gear for I would not want to be the sole reason for a glitch in the mission before even leaving, with everyone working so hard to get ready to leave and to have everything in working condition in order for the mission to hopefully go off without a hitch. Being accountable for my gear is to be dependable. Being dependable in keeping track of all my gear so that I am ready for anything that would be needed of me at any time, rather it’s from my country, my superiors, or my fellow soldiers. It is also crucial for me to hold accountability for my gear being a specialist I am setting an example for other soldiers below me and for me not to hold that accountability it doesn’t make me look like a very good role model to look upon in time of need, for any reason. Showing accountability is also a duty for me as a soldier to keep track of all of my gear. If my equipment was taken they could of tampered with the gear and then given it back with me not…

    Public Services

    Accountability is the central concepts within which Performance management is situated. Armstrong (2000) defines performance management as a “strategic and integrated process that delivers sustained success to organisations by improving the performance of people who work in them and by developing the capabilities of individual contributors and teams.” (McAdam, 2005, p.257). Moullin (2002) and de Bruijn (2001) explain how the objectives of performance management are; rationalisation, more effective systems of financial accountability, greater transparency in the operation of these public institutions, upgrading of the skills base with modernisation of its functional principles, procedures and systems; and. the development of a realistic remuneration policy based on performance (Carlos, 2009, p731). To discuss the development of performance management, I could use many examples within the public sector however I am going to concentrate on three key examples: Local Government, Health services and Fire and Rescue Service. I will focus on the performance regimes in the UK since 1999.…

    SEA Reporting

    SEA Reporting

    At the state and local level, elected and non-elected officials are given the task of managing public funds. These individuals are to ensure and validate that public funds given to these governments are used in the best interest of its citizens. Financial statements are the traditional way in which a government's performance is reported. Traditional financial statements provide fiscal information and indicate if a profit was made. However, according to Mead profit is not the main objective for governments. “Most governmental entities do not have a profit motive, although they try to ensure that sufficient resources are raised to cover their costs. Making ends meet is important because it helps to ensure a government's long-term financial viability. But knowing only whether a government raised more or less money than it spent is not sufficient to evaluate its "success." Understanding how well a government performed requires information about what the government did with the resources it raised. How much service did it provide? Were the services provided efficiently and effectively? What did the government accomplish?” (Mead, 2008) This is where SEA reporting plays a role in governmental accounting. The SEA report is an external report aside from the annual comprehensive financial report which ensures that the result of programs and services is communicated effectively to any interested parties. Those interested parties could include elected officials, legislative staff, citizens, and the media.…

    Stakeholder Analysis

    What is Stakeholder Analysis? Stakeholder Analysis (SA) is a methodology used to facilitate institutional and policy reform processes by accounting for and often incorporating the needs of those who have a ‘stake’ or an interest in the reforms under consideration. With information on stakeholders, their interests, and their capacity to oppose reform, reform advocates can choose how to best accommodate them, thus assuring policies adopted are politically realistic and sustainable. Although Stakeholder Analysis originated from the business sciences, it has evolved into a field that now incorporates economics, political science, game and decision theory, and environmental sciences. Current models of SA apply a variety of tools on both qualitative and quantitative data to understand stakeholders, their positions, influence with other groups, and their interest in a particular reform. In addition, it provides an idea of the impact of reform on political and social forces, illuminates the divergent viewpoints towards proposed reforms and the potential power struggles among groups and individuals, and helps identify potential strategies for negotiating with opposing stakeholders. Who Are Stakeholders? A stakeholder is any entity with a declared or conceivable interest or stake in a policy concern. The range of stakeholders relevant to consider for analysis varies according to the complexity of the reform area targeted and the type of reform proposed and, where the stakeholders are not organized, the incentive to include them. Stakeholders can be of any form, size and capacity. They can be individuals, organizations, or unorganized groups. In most cases, stakeholders fall into one or more of the following categories: international actors (e.g. donors), national or political actors (e.g. legislators, governors), public sector agencies (e.g. MDAs), interest groups (e.g. unions, medical associations), commercial/private for-profit, nonprofit organizations (NGOs, foundations),…
