Money Chart. OECD Better Life Initiative. Public spending by UK gov. Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses - HM Treasury. PESA Objectives Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses (PESA) is the regular publication of information on government spending. PESA has two main objectives and is therefore based on two datasets: Budgets: To provide information on government spending plans and outturn expressed in terms of budgeting aggregates. The Government uses the budgeting framework for expenditure planning and control. Total Expenditure on Services: To present statistical analysis of public expenditure based on a Total Expenditure on Services framework (TES).
PESA Publications The main annual PESA release comprises two separate documents: a National Statistics release of recent outturn data published on the HM Treasury website in late spring; and a PESA Command Paper published shortly after and consistent with the National Statistics release, which additionally includes estimated outturn for the latest year and spending plans for the rest of the Spending Review period. In addition to this: PESA 2010 Command Paper. About us. Role The National Audit Office (NAO) scrutinises public spending on behalf of Parliament.
Our audit of central government has two main aims. By reporting the results of our audits to Parliament, we hold government departments and bodies to account for the way they use public money, thereby safeguarding the interests of taxpayers. In addition, our work aims to help public service managers improve performance and service delivery. The Audit and inspection rights are vested in the head of the National Audit Office, the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG).
Independence The Comptroller and Auditor General, Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons. Strategic Priorities Our work reveals recurring issues across different government departments and bodies, including three general areas where we have found that improvement is frequently needed.

Robert Kosara writes from an InfoVis view: Visualization: It’s More than Pictures! Information visualization is a field that has had trouble defining its boundaries, and that consequently is often misunderstood. It doesn’t help that InfoVis, as it is also known, produces pretty pictures that people like to look at and link to or send around. But InfoVis is more than pretty pictures, and it is more than statistical graphics.
