Continuous monitoring and auditing municipalities
Naoual Ezzamouri and Joris Hulstijn from Netherlands published a paper about continuous monitoring and auditing in municipalities in earlier this year. The first application of continuous auditing was developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1989, the system developed by Vasarhelyi and Halper. This is only applied in private sector. In 2007,
Wenming Zhu published a paper in Internal Auditor indicated that China National Audit
Office is using audit information system to help internal auditors determine the reliability of the budget system. Also, many researchers from Nigeria, Kenya are put a lot more thoughts in continuous monitoring and auditing the government agencies and public sector. It is apparently this is more associated with the corruption and fraud of those developing countries. But it is also meaningful for the US to apply them for municipalities to improve the information transparency and public accountability.
This topic is also highly related to E-government, which is the most promising subject in public administration area.
