The formation of the Institute of Accountability that meets the modern requirements in the Russian Federation.
Abstract
In the terms of transitional democracy, the most important task before the government in the Russian Federation is to ensure openness and transparency of the system of public administration. During the research were identified 11 parameters and it was possible to determine the accountability regime in the country. It is determined that the reporting institution is located in Russia at the stage of formation. The main problems are the shortcomings of legislation and the lack of an expert community. The assessment of the quality of planning of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation showed that the reporting on some of the planned indicators is not presented, and for others it was changed. Thus, the current accountability methodology meets the initial requirements of performance management and needs further improvement.
