Aspects of transparency and good governance

Transparency portals must contain all public information in a free, easy, clear and accessible way. The data must be updated periodically and must incorporate alert mechanisms about updates. In addition, the information must be published in a structured and reusable way.

However, effective compliance with active advertising obligations requires administrations to make an organizational and systematization effort in information that makes it difficult to achieve an optimal level of transparency. In practice, despite the good intentions of the administrations, these difficulties translate into the publication of obsolete data or the lack of advertising due to the lack of structured information that allows automatic publication.

With the aim of facilitating compliance with active advertising obligations, the AOC offers a transparency portal model, accessible from the electronic headquarters of each entity.

This model allows, among other things, the publication of the entity's own information, prepared by it or other administrations. In addition, this publication can be made:

• Automated, proactive and constantly updated.
• Arranged chronologically and by topic, according to the documentary classification table.
• With indication of the source of information, the update frequency, the data model and whether the publication is automatic or manual.

For their part, administrations must continue working in the field of transparency to promote:

• Data automation by default and from the source, that is, from your case managers.
• The incorporation of active advertising obligations into the body's regulatory framework, incorporating transparency into the organization's culture.
• The adoption of guides on active advertising indicators through which new indicators can be incorporated, update frequencies established, publication limits, etc.
