Increasing accountability and reducing corruption through government audits presents the following source proposition: Government audits have often increased political accountability, reduced misuse of public resources, and improved compliance with laws and regulations. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The degree of success in governmental decentralization is tied to the level of accountability instituted in the process, and accountability in turn depends on the availability of transparent public information that lets the community monitor local government performance. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
