Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) are public sector

to the national and state legislatures responsible for
overseeing the auditing of the government financial
operations. SAIs are playing vital role in good
governance and to enhance their own role and making their
functioning more effective, they are using various new
tools and techniques. Communication capacity with various
stakeholders is one such tool that can enhance their
functioning. SAIs are using various techniques of
communication which are generally divided into internal
and external communication. This article is about how
SAIs in India are proactively setting an example for an
open, accountable and transparent institutions under the
frame of their comprehensive external communication
strategies. – Reproduced.

BUREAUCRACY
853 Rashid, Ahmed K.
The role of the bureaucracy in policymaking in Bangladesh
Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration, 36(2),
2014(Jun): p.150-161.
The policymaking roles and responsibilities of political
and bureaucratic executives are often difficult to
distinguish. Taking the example of Bangladesh, this
article argues that the role of the bureaucracy in
policymaking is undermined by excessive political
influence, the bureaucracy's lack of effective engagement
with civil society and non-governmental organisations,
and a decline in bureaucratic capacities in terms of
policy support and policy management. Bureaucrats lose
objectivity in policymaking as undue political inference
and partisan interests override neutral expertise. Policy
relevant insights from the community do not feed into
policy processes because of a bureaucratic reluctance to
engage regularly with civil society organisations, think
tanks and the media. A steady decline in the educational
quality and professional standards of public officials
results in poor capacity to deal with policy issues. The
analysis suggests that instead of tussling with political
executives in the exercise of power and authority,
bureaucrats must better utilise their knowledge,
expertise and experience by engaging meaningfully in
policy matters that have a direct impact on citizens.
Bureaucratic ownership of key aspects of policymaking is
a critical factor in expediting socio-economic
development in a country such as Bangladesh. -

Determinants of the success of public service delivery
under direct benefit transfer: the case of Chandigarh.
Indian Journal of Public Administration, 62(1), 2016(Jan-
Mar): p.27-40.
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) is a relatively new concept
in India. The service delivery mechanism under DBT has
received a mixed response. There arises a need to
ascertain as to which factors are important for making
public service delivery DBT successful. A research
consisting of both exploratory and descriptive phases was
undertaken to identify factors differentiating among
satisfactory and unsatisfactory beneficiaries of social
pensions in Chandigarh. Data collected from 125
respondents was analysed using a step-wise Discriminant
Analysis method. The study has highlighted certain
crucial points which the policy makers need to keep in
mind while designing a DBT-based benefit transfer system.
These are long queues at the time of disbursement, ease
of biometric usage, and advance information on pension
disbursement. The findings could be used by other States
and UTs undertaking similar DBT initiatives for creating
an effective public service delivery mechanism. -

The space in the rules: bureaucratic discretion in the
administration of Ontario works.
Social Policy and Society, 15(2), 2016(Apr): p.221-235.
One of the central lessons taken from the work of Michael
Lipsky on street level bureaucracies is that street level
bureaucrats make policy. Two resulting broad public
policy concerns are the impact of street level decision
making on public policy and the impact on citizens'
access to public services. This article reports on a
study of the views of Ontario Works' case managers on the
nature of bureaucratic discretion in the setting of a
highly rule bound provincial income assistance programme
in Canada. The focus of this article is on case managers'
interaction with contradictory and complex policy
directives. An argument is developed that in such a
restrictive policy setting, meeting the goals of
unswerving policy implementation and citizen access to
public services may work at cross purposes. - Reproduced.

Whistle-blowing: individual and organizational
determinants of the decision to report wrongdoing in the
federal government.
American Review of Public Administration, 46(1), 2016(J
an): p.113-136.
The act of blowing the whistle on wrongdoing poses an
ethical dilemma to the individual, the organization, and
society. To help identify the key individual and
organizational determinants that encourage or prohibit
whistle-blowing in the U.S. federal government, this
article presents a logistic regression analysis of survey
data collected by the Merit Systems Protection Board,
covering 36,926 federal employees from 24 agencies.
Findings suggest that, although whistle-blowing is a rare
event within most federal agencies, its likelihood is
positively associated with norm-based and affective work
motives, but negatively associated with several key
indicators of organizational culture, including
perceptions of respect and openness, cooperativeness and
flexibility in the work setting, and fair treatment and
trust in supervisors. This indicates intrinsic individual
motives, together with organizational culture and
leadership, should be taken into account when developing
and sustaining policies to promote ethical behavior and
responsible public service in the federal government. -

Representative bureaucracy and the willingness to
coproduce: an experimental study.
Public Administration Review, 76(1), 2016(Jan-Feb):
p.121-130.
Relying on the theory of representative bureaucracy-
specifically, the notion of symbolic representation-this
article examines whether varying the number of female
public officials overseeing a local recycling program
influences citizen's (especially women's) willingness to
cooperate with the government by recycling, thus
coproducing important policy outcomes. Using a survey
experiment in which the first names of public officials
are manipulated, the authors find a clear pattern of
increasing willingness on the part of women to coproduce
when female names are more represented in the agency
responsible for recycling, particularly with respect to
the more difficult task of composting food waste.
Overall, men in the experiment were less willing to
coproduce across all measures and less responsive to the
gender balance of names. These findings have important
implications for the theory of representative bureaucracy
and for efforts to promote the coproduction of public
services. - Reproduced.
