Local Government e-Disclosure & Comparisons: Equipping Deliberative Democracy for the 21st Century

Autor Timothy J. Turner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2005
In Local Government e-Disclosure & Comparisons, author Tim Turner proposes an information system to counterbalance the social complexity represented by over 87,000 local governments and their myriad subordinate units. Turner focuses on three critical choices: whether web-posted data will sufficiently disclose information to interested stakeholders, whether standards will be uniform across state lines, and whether disclosure systems will be integrated nationally. Under his plan, an e-disclosure regimen will populate a federated system of state-based electronic repositories, creating a nationwide data warehouse.

Recenzii

When it comes to financial disclosures by state and local governments, the future should be now. But it is not. We're still in the pre-computer age. Tim Turner presents us with a roadmap to modern reporting. He shows us how governments can move from our industrial age accounting model to the creation of data warehouses that would provide citizens, legislators, and managers with information appropriate to the electronic age. This book is must-reading for accounting standard setters and government officials.
