Apart from things that have a desperate need for privacy (and there really shouldn't be that many of those) - shouldn't every single financial transaction of every single publicly funded organisation be open to scrutiny?
I agree in principle, but it has the downside of raising the transaction costs significantly. When you hire someone to do a job, you need to be able rely on their best judgment. If you're going to expect being held accountable for buying a pencil from your brothers stationary shop, this encourages rampant unproductive CMA.
(Not that this isn't already a problem in government organisations).
There should be a web platform where people can check how transparent, efficient and independent publicly funded organizations are. This would be helpful in many ways.

What a great idea.
