This, in essence, is the principle of accountability . The Government has the power to manage and use large sums of PUBLIC funds collected in the form of taxes, fees and other receipts.
This booklet explains the concept of public accountability and how public bodies are held answerable to Parliament for the management and use of public funds. At the end of this booklet is a glossary of terms to help readers better understand the meaning of certain words in their context and a list of useful references for interested readers.
