'This book is a much welcome tonic for public administration. It is
one of the few books that explicitly focus on how audit
institutions carry out their performance auditing responsibilities.
While auditors will likely read this, the authors have geared the
book to a broader readership, including public managers who are
often the subject of performance audits.' -From the foreword by
Paul Posner, George Mason University, US This state-of-the-art book
examines the development of performance audit, drawing on the
experience in a number of different countries, including the United
Kingdom, the United States, Australia, the Netherlands, and
Belgium. The expert contributors identify the trajectory of
performance audit, examine how it is conducted and consider what it
is contributing to effective government. They conclude that, in the
face of new challenges, performance auditors should focus both on
their core responsibilities to ensure accountability, and continue
to develop more insightful and sophisticated approaches to enable
them to assess the growing complexity of the delivery of public
services. By doing so, they can continue to play a valuable role in
democratic accountability. Providing an up-to-date overview and
discussion of performance audit, this highly topical book will
appeal to all those working within audit, academics working in the
fields of public management and public administration, as well
practitioners in and close to state audit institutions. Members of
Parliament, evaluators, internal auditors, researchers, policy
analysts and consultants will also find this book invaluable.
