Transparency and Accountability. To ensure high levels of public accountability and to avoid biases, the identification and valuation of costs and benefits need to be undertaken transparently and objectively. Specifically, guarding against overestimation of benefits, which is often linked to an unrealistically high estimate of the annual rate of growth of benefits while, conversely, underestimation of costs often involves excluding some relevant costs. There is also a need to guard against underestimation of benefits when not all important benefits are accounted for. For example, the travel cost method addresses only some of the values associated with an environmental asset. The following will be required by decision makers and, consequently, should be considered by practitioners when preparing a BCA: An assessment of whether appropriate techniques have been used to identify and value key variables and address major uncertainties that could materially influence the economics of alternative policies – that is, a demonstration that the preferred policy is, in fact, the most cost effective method of achieving the desired outcome. A critique to test the significance of key variables to determine the value of more information, taking into account the likely cost of delay. Provision of descriptions of all known assumptions, biases, and omissions. A statement of how, or if, the BCA is going to be made accessible and revisited as more data or time becomes available or as the circumstances of the analysis change. Advice on the level of confidence / margins for error in the results of the BCA. Advice on whether the BCA has been subject to independent peer review. An assessment of whether the analysis has taken into consideration Commonwealth and relevant state/territory benefit:cost analysis guidelines.

Transparency and Accountability. The current draft JPA makes explicit what was always implicit: namely, that the Authority is subject to all of the laws that are applicable to the County. (JPA, Article 27.) In addition to that general statement, the JPA specifically notes applicability of the New Mexico Open Meetings Act, requiring all meetings to be held in the Pojoaque Basin or elsewhere in Santa Fe County (JPA, Article 6.F), the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act (JPA, Article 13), the New Mexico Audit Act (JPA, Article 9.B), and the New Mexico Procurement Code (JPA, Article 8.A).
Transparency and Accountability. The universities of applied sciences, universities, the student organisations, and the government all endorse the importance of greater transparency of development in higher education. To that end, the Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences, the VSNU, and the minister will jointly initiate the development of a permanent national overview for universities of applied sciences and research universities of core data for education, research, and impact (in the form of a digital sector dashboard, for example). With a view to public accountability and to enable local participation bodies and the institutes to see where they stand, developments at individual institutes will also be made transparent. The reports will give a broad-based picture of developments in higher education. For the content of the overview, the parties will use existing quantitative and qualitative systemic and institutional level information. In doing so, they will observe the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation. The first overviews will be drawn up in early 2019. The aim of the research universities and the minister is to use and combine existing information about the system and institutes as effectively as possible, while the quality of information improves and the burden on institutes to provide information is reduced. The replication of tasks by various bodies, such as the VSNU, the Netherlands Association of Applied Sciences, the Inspectorate of Education, NVAO, the Committee for Efficiency in Higher Education (CDHO), and DUO, will be prevented, where possible, by harmonising the surveys and the databases used for them. Together with relevant parties, the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science will explore what data may be shared with the parties, for what purpose, and by what method. The aim is to continue the current method as much as possible, but alternatives will be considered as part of the analysis. Alterations to legislation may form part of the solution in order that the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation are met.
