The platform Open Budget constitutes a digital tool for real time presentation of the budget, since it is interlinked with the accountant - informational system of a public organization or the local government administration. The main goal of the service is the transparency towards the citizens, as it functions as a review tool for the demonstration of revenue and expenditure of the organization that makes use of the service.
The Open Budget platform (Open Budget) also meets the following principles:
- Access to the information through primary information and processing
- Involvement of organizations and citizens in the decision making over participatory budget and the possibility of submission and passage of proposals
- Public accountability via expansive data presentation, results reporting and evaluation of the proposals
- Usage of technology in order to achieve innovation, openness and accountability through the use of the platform both for the management of open data and active participation
There is potential to access financial data and results of a Region or a Municipality as well as the distinct districts in real time.
