From this definition of public accountability it is clear that the public entities that utilize public resources have an obligation to account for the way these resources are allocated, used and the results these spending have achieved. In other words, the main objectives of all public accountability initiatives are to ensure that public money is spent most economically and efficiently, that there is minimum of wastage or theft and finally that public actually benefit from public finance. In response to these accountability requirements of public sector spending, most governments have put in place various expenditure tracking and reporting systems and of these, the most important one happens to be the audit. The Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI) has been set up in most countries to conduct regular audit of public expenditure and report, where such arrangements exist, to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the parliament for review and scrutiny of the veracity of such expenditure. The whole idea of SAI audit and reporting is to detect anomalies (if any) and by doing so, ensure cost-efficiency and integrity in public expenditure. Indirectly, the objective of SAI audit is also to curb malfeasance in public expenditure and thus ensure corruption free and a results-based outcome of public finance. However, in recent times it has been observed that in spite of increased budget of SAIs across the world, the impact on corruption control and service delivery tend to remain somewhat uneven. Based on the results of primary research done at the United Nations (UN) this paper argues that the capacity of audit to curb corruption and improve service delivery depends on a range of issues, some of which are outside the control of the SAIs themselves and these involve the overall socio-political governance environment within which audits are undertaken. Regardless of how well budgeted an SAI is and however technically competent its auditors are an unhelpful socio-political governance arrangement can easily stymie its capacity to access required information, conduct objective analysis, report truthfully and most importantly, enforce compliance. http://nysv0294.ptc.un.org:8081/sites/internet/Documents/UNPAN043947.pdf Analytical Document Accountability UN Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:35:02 GMT This Act's purpose is to promote the use of information and communications networks, to protect the user's personal information, and to construct a milieu within which users can safely use information and communications networks. http://nysv0294.ptc.un.org:8081/sites/internet/Documents/UNPAN031097.pdf Analytical Document Deconcentration UN Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:32:08 GMT Code of Conduct for the Civil Service, Part 3 http://nysv0294.ptc.un.org:8081/sites/internet/Documents/UNPAN011076.pdf Analytical Document Human resource management and development Public sector development UN Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:32:07 GMT Code of Conduct for the Ghana Civil Service, Part 2 http://nysv0294.ptc.un.org:8081/sites/internet/Documents/UNPAN011075.pdf Analytical Document Human resource management and development UN Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:32:07 GMT Code of Conduct for the Ghana Civil Service, Part 1 http://nysv0294.ptc.un.org:8081/sites/internet/Documents/UNPAN011074.pdf Code of Conduct Ethics or Equivalent Human resources development Human resource management and development UN Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:32:06 GMT List of Participants at the Expert Group Meeting on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 3-4 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050901.pdf Non-Substantive Conference Related Document UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 14:17:49 GMT Presentation by Mr. Ulrich Graute at the Capacity Development Workshop on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 5-6 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050900.pdf Presentation UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:03:32 GMT Presentation by Mr. Rachid Benabderrahmane at the Capacity Development Workshop on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 5-6 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050899.pdf Presentation UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:50:13 GMT Presentation by Nicolae Cretu, participant from Moldova in an Expert Group Meeting on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 3-4 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050847.pdf Presentation UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:32:42 GMT Presentation by Mr. Jad Chaaban at the Capacity Development Workshop on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 5-6 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050898.pdf Presentation UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:26:53 GMT Presentation by Mr. Samir El Bahaie at the Capacity Development Workshop on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 5-6 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050897.pdf Presentation UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:00:38 GMT Presentation by Ms. Valentina Resta at the Capacity Development Workshop on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 5-6 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050896.pdf Attendance Sheet UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:48:28 GMT Capacity Development Workshop List of Participants on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 5-6 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050895.pdf Attendance Sheet UN Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:27:00 GMT Presentation by Mr. Ionut Sibian of the European Economic and Social Committee at the Expert Group Meeting on "Citizen Engagement and the Post-2015 Development Agenda", Beirut, 3-4 December 2012. http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unpan050851.pdf Presentation UN Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:13:37 GMT
