The report discusses the importance of transparency and accountability in how public money is used by government and other institutions. The researchers looked at 60 public institutions' websites to see how they share information about their budgets with the public. They found that very few institutions are transparent about their spending. Additionally, many institutions do not evaluate their budget proposals thoroughly. The report emphasizes the need for government and public officials to be open about how public money is used and the results achieved.
