Abstract
There is some a priori support in the literature for using budgets as external financial reports, both before the financial year and afterwards. There is also some support for having these budgets audited. A questionnaire was sent to six hypothesised user groups in two local authority areas to determine whether there was empirical support for the a priori positions. The responses revealed wide support for making budget figures publicly available, both before and after the fmancial year. Support for auditing these budgets came only from external user groups (excluding members of parliament).
