scores of 0 percent were placed in the category No Mid-Year Review Made Available to the Public.<br />
Year-End Report<br />
At the end of the financial year, the executive should issue a comprehensive year-end report. This<br />
document should be more than a simple financial report. Rather, it should serve as the<br />
government’s principal accountability report to its citizens — providing an update on progress in<br />
achieving the policy goals and improvements in outcomes it laid out <strong>for</strong> itself at the beginning of the<br />
year. The document should make clear the link between policy achievements and how the<br />
government spent its funds.<br />
Despite the importance of the year-end report, only nine countries surveyed provided extensive<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation in the document. Forty-one countries provided only partial in<strong>for</strong>mation in their yearend<br />
reports, while nine countries did not issue a report at all or did not issue a report separate from<br />
the annual budget proposal <strong>for</strong> the following year.<br />
