Notes

Clear Line of Sight – the Alignment Project In the July 2007 Green Paper The Governance of Britain, the Prime Minister announced that the Government would simplify its financial reporting to Parliament by ensuring that it reports in a more consistent fashion, in line with the fiscal rules, at three stages in the process – on plans, Estimates and expenditure outturns. The Clear Line of Sight Project has been set up to meet this objective. The aims of the project are to: Align budgets, Estimates and accounts in a way that allows Treasury to control what is needed to deliver the fiscal rules, incentivises value for money and reduces burdens on government departments; Combine and/or align the timing of publication of government financial reporting documents in order to avoid duplication and make them more coherent
