"a standard list of identifiers ... should be created" - say by whom.

"For example. Departments must show" - Typo ("." should be ",").

"Contracts between governmental entities and third parties should be 
associated to spending information." - Suggest you turn this around, and 
say "Where spending/income arises from a contract with a third party, a 
reference to the contract should be included."

Otherwise, it looks good, and I agree with it all.
