Accountability in reporting between central government bodies and parent ministry

Analysis of the number of central government bodies reporting to a parent ministry that meet the following three criteria in the latest full calendar year: • The annual plan is submitted to the parent ministry for approval; • The annual activity report of the subordinated body is submitted to the parent ministry; • The subordinated body’s budget has been submitted to and approved by the ministry. The measure is based on a sample of eight bodies in total. Two bodies are selected from four different ministries: 1) the ministry of interior; 2) the MoF; 3) the ministry of justice; and 4) the ministry of economy. Subordinated bodies with the highest number of staff are selected for each ministry. Point allocation: • 4 points = all eight bodies meet the criteria. • 3 points = seven bodies meet the criteria. • 2 points = six bodies meet the criteria. • 1 point = five bodies meet the criteria. • 0 points = four or fewer bodies meet the criteria.
