A transparent culture

The DCMS is pushing forward the Government’s agenda for improving accountability by requiring Arts Council England (ACE) to develop an information strategy, including a timetable for making information on “a range of inputs and impact indicators” available to the public. This will “replace the performance frameworks that [ACE] may have been used to in the past”. The DCMS has already committed to publishing wide-ranging data on current administrative spend, staff salaries and operational data, both for itself and its arm’s length bodies, on a dedicated website by 1 April 2011. The site will also publish departmental policy and procurement information, and give details of investment in and outcomes of major programmes.
