Abstract:

Budget transparency is an instrumental factor for better understanding the
concept of budget within a democratic context.
 International codes for best governance practices in public management
have appointed the internet as a communication
media with the potential to provide this information in a timely and
transparent manner to the several players in the society,
 and open government data has added important elements to this scenario.
Currently, there is no structured framework to
evaluate the quality of the budgetary information disclosed on the web.
This paper takes this into consideration when
proposing an assessment framework and analyzing data collected from two
samples: one composed by 54 budgetary
websites from different Brazilian executive power levels (national, state
and municipal), complemented with another sample
of 34 Brazilian audit court websites.
