Accountability and the Changing Function of the Control
2014
Accountability, in terms of ensuring openness in public administration, is an important attribute. Certain authorities and managers of public institutions and processes allow evaluation of administrative action. In traditional public administration accountability included control of bureaucracy by politicians and politicians to account to the public through elections. In this regard, attention is given to rules of bureaucratic and legal processes. Accountability in the new public management approach is committed to ensure more managerial and institutional aspects. It focuses on professional accountability. Broader concept of accountability, the audit conducted in the manner set out to question the activities of public administration.

Presented at III Encuentro International Justica y Derecho. Palacio de Convenciones de La Habana 24 al 26 Mayo de 2006 The control of public administration presupposes a dichotomy of the rulers and general public (ordinary citizens). The extent and functioning of this control is closely linked to the nature of the relationship between the rulers and the ruled. In the political and constitutional systems where the participation of people actually and effectively functions in the exercise of political power, the gap between the rulers and the ruled will be narrow. In the political systems where such effective participation is made possible, the control of the public administration will function while the administrative decisions are being formulated. Thus, active participation of people during the preparatory stage will render the judicial control after the decisions are put into effect of relatively less important.
The organisational system of judicial administration bears exceptional significance from the perspective of the quality of rule of law. One of the most formidable elements of the internal and external adjudication of a state is the intactness of the third branch of power, its effectiveness and its ability to guarantee individual rights. The conspicuously high level of inconsistency, the dynamism and the need for organisational change evident in the administration of the courts today teaches several lessons. On one hand, the classic principle of separation of powers and the stability of judicial independence do not rule out that the administrative solutions considerably deviate from one another. On the other hand, the organisational models are forced to adjust to environmental challenges, their own operational experiences, incidental failures and internal tensions. This process of adaptation is driven by well-defined principles: accountability and transparency, both having become equal to independence. The transformational crisis of the post-communist states coincides with the new wave of change in modern rule of law states.

Atributos de Liderazgo Policíal
Revista Criminalidad, 2019
The purpose of this article is to identify the attributes of police leadership and their relationships, associated with the dimensions of to be, to know, know-how, and know to be of the police officer. The methodological design used is of mixed type. For empirical study, the approach was sequential. First, qualitative data was collected and analysed, which then supported the collection and interpretation of quantitative data. The method of data collection is of a sequential exploratory nature (DEXPLOS) with a derivative modality: a theoretical-conceptual foundation was constructed, and qualitative data was obtained in focus groups (first tool) and, then, quantitative data was obtained from the results of a survey on the institutional climate (second tool), with the purpose of guaranteeing a representative sample for the validation of the police leader's attributes. The results obtained identify through the technique discussion groups and, later validation with the technique of structural equations, that the attributes-police honour, service vocational, credibility and trust, adaptability and effectiveness, vision and innovation-are essentials and inseparables from police leader.
The Managerial Perspective and Systems of Accountability in Judicial Offices
Accounting and Corporate Reporting - Today and Tomorrow, 2017
In Italy, the machinery of justice has been, on more than one occasion, the subject of criticism. For the most part, the criticism has been relative to the slowness of trials and the inadequacy of the judicial system, deemed not capable of confronting the request for continuously evolving justice in an exhaustive manner, whose characteristics change in time based on the emerging needs of society. The analysis of the justice system was, in fact, generally not subject to enquiries on offices' productivity and to evaluation of the management of resources invested in the sector. The same centres of data elaboration and the related departments at the Ministry of Justice, for example, have not gone much further than collecting the statistical data and creating the generic indicators of service quality. Such parameters, though, are often revealed to be too bureaucratic and of little use in proposing ameliorative solutions of the service offered to citizens, who desire levels of protection that are more responsive to their expectations. In this sense, the application of the system of accountability within the judicial system can contribute to the managerialization of the service.
Hesap Verilebilirligin Rant Üzerine Etkisi Panel Veri Analizi
XII. IBANESS Congress Series on Economics, Business and Management Plovdiv / Bulgaria, 2019
The simultaneous social and political order in a society means that accountability is high in this society. It is also possible to say that in societies where accountability is high, corruption is almost non-existent and bureaucratic works are fast and transparent. In this study, the effect of accountability on rent is investigated. There are studies in which rent is defined as another way of defining corruption. For this reason, it is expected that in societies where accountability is high, such as corruption is less in rent. In the study, the effect of accountability, on the basis of rent dependent variable, on rent is measured by panel data analysis. As a result of empirical analysis, it is obtained that the rent decreases in societies with high accountability.
The Question of Accountability: New Forms or a Democratic Deficit
Journal of Advance Research in Business Management and Accounting (ISSN: 2456-3544), 2019
This research examined the question of accountability; new forms or a democratic deficit. The study examined specially examines the relationship between transparency and accountability, relationship between technocratic decision making and accountability and finally the relationship between proper coordination and accountability. The study is an exploratory study that used mainly secondary sources of information obtained from journals, text books and from the internet. The findings from the review shows that public accountability is important because it provides a democratic means to monitor and control government conduct, prevent the development of concentrations of power, and enhance the learning capacity and effectiveness of public administration. This is because rulers can be investigated and held to account for actions that transgress the law or result in personal enrichment or violate common mores. These tenets are lacking in our public institutions and in broader perspective ...
