Criticism

* In 2006 the "Big Four" firms of international auditors plus Grant Thornton and BDO recommended ( [http://www.cybsoc.org/CEO_Vision.pdf "Global Capital Markets and the Global Economy"] ) public and private enterprises report performance and financial statements in real-time on the web. These measures would correct the under pricing of risk, for example, which according to Gordon Brown [ [http://www.number10.gov.uk/output/Page14387.asp Turbulence provides opportunity for reform at World Economic Forum (2008)] ] underlies the present credit market problem. The Metaphorum group recommend the use of Stafford Beer's Viable System Model for the real-time management architecture producing a risk aware "work smart, work less" culture and better value Public Services and investment.

*OECD [http://www.oecd.org/document/40/0,3343,en_2649_34569_39354024_1_1_1_1,00.html "Economic survey of the United Kingdom 2007"] urges "more effort to ensure good value for money in public spending".

*HM Treasury's independent Gershon Review of Public Services " [http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/spending_review/spend_sr04/associated_documents/spending_sr04_efficiency.cfm Releasing Resources for the Frontline] " (2004). Gershon claimed "...efficiency gains of over £20 billion in 2007-08 across the public sector have been identified and agreed" (4%). The Work Foundation's [http://www.theworkfoundation.com/Assets/PDFs/efficiency.pdf response] "Whether this challenge can be met will test the capabilities of ministers, public service employers and trade unions".

*An earlier millennium Treasury [http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk./Documents/Enterprise_and_Productivity/the_evidence/ent_prodevi_index.cfm comparative best practice study] suggests potential savings of 35% are possible, with an additional 17% if public service investment was as efficient as the private sector. This could eventually release £266 billion per year (£409 million per day, at 2007 prices) in tax cuts.
