Call for greater accountability in public spendingOperations training courses may be required by public sector bodies as a minister issues calls for greater scrutiny of spending.

Communities secretary John Denham has advocated more accountability for expenditure by councils, quangos and other public bodies on areas such as transport, health, police and fire services.

The Department for Communities and Local Government minister declared that billions of pounds of public spending will be made more transparent through the enhancement of data made available.

He suggested that the new system of Local Spending Reports will deliver additional efficiencies, adding that the move "will open the door to enterprise and innovation by encouraging individuals, business and third sector to come up with new solutions to old problems".

Local Spending Reports are intended to enhance operations management in the sector be allowing both citizens and councils to examine decisions closely. The first-ever such document was published by communities minister Sadiq Khan in April 2009.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19538021-ADNFCR
