“…Previous studies also confirmed that strengthening the role of the audit as part of the element of governance can improve a country's transparency (Benito & Bastida, 2009;De Renzio & Masud, 2011). It supports the argument that enforcing the level of accountability and transparency by strengthening the SAI can improve the accounting disclosure in a country.…”

“…A previous study found that external auditors have an important role in enhancing the disclosure of accounting information in local government (Copley, 1991). Studies at the central government level generally indicate a new audit role as part of the element of governance that contributes to improving the level of transparency (Benito & Bastida, 2009;De Renzio & Masud, 2011). The role of the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) was assessed based on the perception of auditor independency (Seifert et al, 2013).…”

Promoting Sustainability Transparency in European Local Governments: An Empirical Analysis Based on Administrative Cultures

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nowadays, the transparency of governments with respect to the sustainability of public services is a very interesting issue for stakeholders and academics. It has led to previous research and international organisations (EU, IMF, OECD, United Nations, IFAC, G-20, World Bank) to recommend promotion of the online dissemination of economic, social and environmental information. Based on previous studies about e-government and the influence of administrative cultures on governmental accountability, this paper seeks to identify political actions useful to improve the practices of transparency on economic, social and environmental sustainability in European local governments. We perform a comparative analysis of sustainability information published on the websites of 72 local governments in 10 European countries grouped into main three cultural contexts (Anglo-Saxon, Southern European and Nordic). Using international sustainability reporting guidelines, our results reveal significant differences in local government transparency in each context. The most transparent local governments are the Anglo-Saxon ones, followed by Southern European and Nordic governments. Based on individualized empirical results for each administrative style, our conclusions propose useful policy interventions to enhance sustainability transparency within each cultural tradition, such as development of legal rules on transparency and sustainability, tools to motivate local managers for online diffusion of sustainability information and analysis of information needs of stakeholders.
