I was heartened by the Reuters report today of the decalration of assets by President Karzai. If that is reliable, it separates him from the majority of heads of government. Perhaps declarations by national leaders and asset comparisons year on year, should be an integrity measure for you to adopt? http://www.reuters.com/article/asiaCrisis/idUSISL24821

Agree -- the availability of asset disclosures (in the executive, legislative, judiciary & senior civil service) is tracked in the Integrity Indicators, which are the source of our scorecards.

Thanks for the link!

I appreciate the nature of Q29. In practice do your assessors feel there is much credibility in many national processes for confirming accuracy and completeness of asset declarations?

@ Anonymous -- in short, no. We're in the midst of discussions with at least one government about implementing some serious auditing processes (see our indicators on that issue as well) to increase the veracity of these data. Stay tuned...
