Abstract
This document assesses the quality of
financial accountability and transparency in Bangladesh, and
makes recommendations for improvement. With respect to
public funds, it compares the financial management
standards, and practices of agencies using such funds
against and international, or "best practice"
standard, and also the standards, and practices of the
external "oversight" agencies - nine Audit
Directorates of the Comptroller and Auditor General's
Office, parliamentary committees concerned with public
expenditure, donor agencies, and the media. It assesses what
it would take to qualify the country for programmatic, or
sector lending in replacement of all individual project
lending. With respect to private funds in the hands of
companies, commercial banks, insurance companies, and
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), it examines the
regulatory activities of the Registrar of Joint Stock
Companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the two
Stock Exchanges, Bangladesh Bank, NGO Affairs Bureau, and
the accounting and auditing profession that serves both
public, and private sectors.
