+*This project review is based on the detailed review of Thodoris
+Papadopoulos, Open Knowledge Foundation Greece, Local Group.*
+
+Open Knowledge Foundation Greece is monitoring the financial reporting systems in
+Greece during the financial crisis, resulting in detailed reviews of
+the rapid legal and technical changes in the Greek financial
+reporting system. This has ultimately lead to several proposals for technical changes to the reporting standards.

+
+## About the project
+
+In Greece, the most important piece of legislation in recent years
+regarding the transparency of government action is the [Cl@rity](http://diavgeia.gov.gr/) (Diavgeia)
+program, which introduced the obligation to publish all the decisions of
+government and all administrative entities on the Internet.
+Cl@rity aims to generate maximum
+accessibility of government policy and administrative actions. Since the
+programme was launched in October 2010, almost 6 million administrative
+decisions have been uploaded to the Cl@rity website, with a daily
+average of 14,000 decisions.
+
+With the Cl@rity program, the enforceability of any administrative act
+presupposes a previous announcement on the Internet. Furthermore,
+Cl@rity provides an open data API in XML and JSON formats through which
+everyone can have structured access to all decisions, along with their
+metadata, ensuring openness and further dissemination of public
+information.
+
+The Cl@rity initiative has already had a quiet but significant
+effect on the way authorities handle their executive power. It leaves
+considerably less room for corruption and exposes it much more easily
+when it takes place, since any citizen or interested party can openly
+access any questionable acts. This is a scheme of “collective scrutiny”
+that can be effective, since it allows citizens directly involved or
+concerned with an issue to scrutinize it in depth rather than leaving
+it to the traditional media, whose choice of issues often is restricted
+and oriented towards “safe” topics.
+
+## Challenges
+
+Although Cl@rity was not designed with financial monitoring in mind, it
+includes various decision types that includes financial metadata
+(such as expenditure, budget, and contract data). From the onset, however,
+the Cl@rity programme has suffered from issues of poor data quality, including:
+
+*  Failure to provide a hierarchy of entities
+*  Lack of validation rules for metadata fields and non-mandatory
+    requirements
+
+In reality, these issues have prevented citizens and journalists from
+utilizing the full potential of the Cl@rity program as a platform for
+public financial data.
+
+## Project results
+
+Open Knowledge Foundation Greece highlights two major achievements from their data quality review and proposals:
+
+1.  For the Cl@rity programme, substantial improvements have been
+    implemented by the end of 2012. These corrections included changes
+    of significant importance to journalists and CSOs, such as improving
+    the quality of transactional spending data.
+2.  For a supplementary information system to support the Cl@rity
+    program, several suggestions brought forward by Open Knowledge Foundation Greece have been
+    admitted to the data architecture. The new system will for this
+    reason be more responsive and accurate and will provide a more detailed
+    data model with many more metadata fields. The new system is
+    expected to be delivered by the end of 2013. The owner of the system
+    the [Greek Ministry of Administrative Reform and
+    e-Governance](http://www.ydmed.gov.gr/) has undertaken to provide
+    the source code of the system through the [European Open Source
+    Observatory and
+    Repository](http://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor/description) under
+    a [EUPL](http://joinup.ec.europa.eu/software/page/eupl) licence.
