Cover image

This research report explains the fundamentals and mechanisms of accountability in government, as well as hierarchies, relationships, and instruments of effective accountability. It examines the accountability regime: its complexities, responsibilities and limitations; political and media pressures; results-based reporting to Parliament; and the accountability of arm’s-length agencies. The report also presents a new scheme for improving accountability of deputy ministers and appointing deputy ministers. This research is intended to support the work of federal practitioners.
