Possibilities for Social Equity Budgeting
Considering prior ways of seeing and practical mobilisations of Social Equity Budgeting (SEB), we suggest that prior conceptualisation, research and practice can be advanced by reflecting on insights from the philosophical and political literature on equity and justice. Here, we pursue such an approach and specifically contribute by considering how the writings of the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) provide critical insights inform…
Auditing, the State and Democracy in a “New” Machine Age of Digitalization
Many promises have been made about digitalization in the public sector, from its potential to revolutionize government to its emancipating properties as a new conduit for democracy. In this paper, the case of a leading Supreme Audit Institution (SAI), the UK National Audit Office, is examined. SAIs are essential to the ways in which government is managed and held to account. The paper examines the paradox that despite the promises made about digi…
Governance and Accountability in Reshaping Public Services
Issues of accountability are ubiquitous in public governance. Accountability connects with other concerns like legitimacy, power, citizen engagement, and new modes of service production. These issues and connections become all the more poignant given the evolving landscape of public services amidst the backdrop of 21st‐century poly‐crises. The pieces in this special issue explore these dynamics, particularly concerning shifting governing modes, c…
Are public sector accounts trusted? Exploring the verdict of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee in the United Kingdom
Legislatures face difficult challenges holding modern bureaucratic democracies to account due to the scale, complexity, and diverse impacts on citizens' lives. One way that democracies bridge the gap between the legislature and executive is through financial accounts of government departments. This paper examines whether financial accounts are trusted by MPs in the UK Parliament for purposes of transparency in the service of accountability. The a…

The National Audit Office and the Select Committee System 1979–2019
This is the first account of the relationship between select committees and the National Audit Office (NAO). The relationship has been often dismissed, but this article argues that it has been vital for the success of the committee system. Initially, both the committees and the audit office were established to strengthen the scrutiny of public administration. Despite the intentions of the early reformers, they did not initially collaborate. In th…
