GLOBAL ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT 2008
The Corporate Governance & Financial Reporting Centre (CGFRC) at NUS Business School is delighted to be the national partner of the UK-based One World Trust for the launch of the latter’s 2008 Global Accountability Report. One World Trust is a non-governmental organisation that promotes education and research into changes required in global governance to achieve the eradication of poverty, injustice, environmental degradation and war.
The 2008 report presents an assessment of the accountability of 30 of the world's most powerful organisations to the people they affect. The Report analyses organisations from the intergovernmental, corporate and non-governmental sectors, according to four dimensions: transparency, participation, evaluation, and complaint and response mechanisms. The organisations are assessed on how they integrate key accountability principles into their organisational policies and the management systems. Together policies and systems make up an organisation’s accountability capability.
The Report is a unique initiative that identifies trailblazers and laggards, highlights specific areas of reform, and provides a global picture of accountability trends and challenges based on quantitative measurements. In doing so, it provides a common frame of reference on accountability and extends the basic principles of democracy to the global level.
