Dear all,

we are happy to announce that the report 'Making Budgets Attractive - Best
Practices from Government’s Financial Transparency Portals’ by Danny
Lämmerhirt has been published and is available via:
http://openbudgets.eu/resources/2016/07/11/making-budgets-attractive/

Fiscal transparency is defined by the IMF as “the comprehensiveness,
clarity, reliability, timeliness, and relevance of public reporting on the
past, present, and future state of public finances”. For journalists,
parliamentarians and citizens alike, fiscal transparency can mean an
unobstructed view into the financial affairs of the state.

But, what does that mean concretely? How does one do ‘fiscal transparency’?
As it turns out, the starting point for this potentially empowering concept
lies with open spending platforms, usually in the form of websites
containing fiscal data. They are the key interfaces between data suppliers
and users, and the result of policy makers carefully navigating a plethora
of challenges ranging from data quality and compatibility to varying
accounting systems and legal contexts.

Danny Lämmerhirt has sought the conversation with creators and proponents
of open spending portals, both to better understand its pitfalls and to
formulate best practices. The findings of his research in several countries
and levels of government are featured in “Making Budgets Attractive - Best
Practices from Government’s Financial Transparency Portals”, a report Danny
wrote on behalf of OpenBudgets.eu.

Apologies for cross-posting.

Best,
