The Popular Financial Reporting and Gender Accountability, the Integrated Approach in Municipalities and Public Bodies

The term gender auditing does not imply public budgets distinguished for men and women, but rather: an analysis of the government budget to establish the budget's differential impact on women and men and on different groups of women and men. After providing a definition, the study focuses on a possible approach for the achievement of a popular financial reporting based on gender accountability. A case study shows how there is a difference in preferences between men and women in policy choices and economic representation priorities. Gender accountability provides the possibility to increase transparency, efficiency and effectiveness of the policies and reports.
