Bilancio Pop della Città di Torino - Popular Financial Reporting City of Turin 2016/2017

Citizens are increasingly demanding public responsibility and government programs that are more attentive to the real needs of the territory, particularly in terms of managing public resources. In English-speaking countries, a form of social reporting is widespread, which has characteristics of transparency and understanding even for those who do not normally deal with the economic assessment and the services provided. This reporting is called Popular Financial Reporting, renamed the Pop Budget. The City, which has always been innovative in terms of reporting and related communication, has already experimented with the support of the University of Turin in drafting the 2014/2015 POP budget. The document was produced following the best practices that are present internationally in the English-speaking countries. The Pop budget is indeed a widespread document in the United States, Canada and Australia. The Department of Management of the University of Turin has produced the document according to guidelines and processes defined by the Scientific Steering Committee that has taken care of the methodological references and operational supervision together with the working group of methodological and operational application that has busy making the document.
