Assessing Regulation inside Government in the United Kingdom

摘要

This study is a review on the extant of regulation inside government in the United Kingdom (UK) and critiques on the mass regulation effort. Regulation in the UK is delivered through inspections by several inspectorates including the auditors (Audit Commission). The inspection subjects cover all aspects of government activities from operations to reporting. The inspectorates check on the subjects based on pre-determined criteria and on number basis. The results will then be calculated and the inspected organizations will also be ranked. Literatures argue that besides giving justice to the public sector reform agenda, regulation inside government have influences government spending and alter participant behavior.
