Fiscal Policy

Transparency and Accountability

Today, in our politically charged environment, it is more critical than ever that all institutions function at the highest level of integrity and accountability. Accordingly, government must be as open and accessible to the people as possible. This is most true when it comes to how government collects and uses public money. Find background information and COFPI’s recommendations here for how to enhance accountability and transparency in taxes, tax expenditures, economic incentives, budget documents and the budget process.
