g:Stat- Government Statistical Toolkit and Trends
Helping your government employ performance measurement for accountability
In today’s accountability-driven environment, performance measurement is more important than ever. In good times or challenging ones, an effective system of performance measurement is an essential decision-making tool for local governments. g:Stat draws on a database of information derived from up-to-date audited financial statements, whereby units of government can review trends and benchmark themselves with like units on the basis of geography, population, or property value. This comparison of financial information is a powerful tool to measure financial strength.
