1. Introduction
“We will take steps to significantly improve fiscal transparency, including the establishment of appropriate mechanisms to ensure that information is accessible to our publics. We will publish available information in relation to the next and all subsequent fiscal years on fiscal and budget policy intentions and projections, the state of public finances and on the structure, functions and financing of government and the wider public sector. We will publish the public accounts annually. We will take steps to publish the information necessary to result in value for money through, and integrity in, public procurement processes. Over time, we will take steps to extend the scope of published information and improve its quality, usefulness, accessibility and timeliness.”
