摘要
Analysis of public accountability tends to concentrate on public sector institutions. However increasing use of the private sector in the provision of public services suggests the need to compare accountability in the two sectors, While private sector (for-profit) companies are more accountable in terms of their 'bottom line', accountability requirements in the public sector are generally more stringent, particularly with regard to process and general policy.
