<p>This study aimed to see the effectiveness of using force majeure along with the challenges the attorney might encounter against taxation crime. It was a normative study with statute and case approaches. The study was conducted in High Prosecutor General office in Makassar and Directorate General of Tax South Sulawesi. The result showed that the force majeure by attorney against taxation crime might be applied in the form of detention to complete particular documents and conduct an additional investigation before filing the case to the court. The challenges in implementing the force majeure by attorney against taxation crime might come from legal and non-legal factors. The former involved confusing phrase of ‘investigation termination’ by attorney and the light different view on state financial losses between under Corruption Law and under General Act of Taxation, and the later involved the professionalism of attorney and information transparency. </p>

In the process of decentralization in Ukraine, the information transparency of the management becomes important, which implies the openness and accessibility of information for all members of society. It reflects the current and perspective states of the reform process. Decentralization means not only a transferring of powers, but also financial resources and responsibilities from public authorities to local authorities. So the information publicity and transparency of the budget process should become the key indicator to estimate the effectiveness of the management of the finances of the consolidated territorial communities (CTCs). The purpose of the article is to evaluate and propose ways to increase the information publicity and transparency of the budget process at the local level. The author analyzes the implementation of the requirements of the Ukrainian legislation about informational publicity and transparency of the budget process in the CTCs of Lvivska oblast established in 2015-2017 and shows positive and negative moments in displaying of financial information on CTCs’ sites. A number of measures are proposed to increase the information publicity and transparency of the budget process at the local level. The author considers that in order to ensure publicity and transparency of the budget process in the CTCs of Lvivska oblast it is necessary: to unify and maximally simplify the mechanism of access of CTCs’ members to financial information through the standardization of the procedure for disclosure of information about the budget process; to increase the personal responsibility of the heads of the CTCs for the lack of financial information that is due to be published on the site of communities; to continuously monitor the availability and updating of information about the budget process on the CTCs’ sites in order to respond in a timely manner to the appearance of possible negative trends; to take preventive measures with the use of appropriate sanctions (fine, removal from office, etc.) in cases of delaying the submission of actual financial information to the site of CTCs, the disclosure of information in its entirety, the discovery of unreliability of financial information or other manipulations with figures or financial documents filed on CTCs’ website.

Abstract Problem The Salvador Municipal Health Secretariat (MHS) utilizes health data to elaborate technical documents to manage and respond to instances requiring internal or external control. In answer to demands for the modernization and transparency of municipal management, the constitution of a Health Situation Room (HSR) was included in the political agenda of the Secretary, thereby guaranteeing political, technical and operational support for its implementation. Description of the Problem To describe the process of construction of the HSR in the Salvador MHS in 2020. The HSR is a physical, virtual and collective space for the analysis of information, which begins with a data search which allows to understand the information flow, identifying the solicitor and the constructor of the information, the data source and the informational object itself. Results 130 technicians and managers were interviewed, and their responses then categorized into 161 indicators across different themes. The results point out the need to define a spatial analysis unit to be adopted, and to communicate with external actors who demand information, as well as to develop a communication plan for the HSR. Lessons To develop an informational culture oriented by local and central protagonism, generating evidence for decision-making and information transparency for the whole of society. Key messages The Health Situation Room reduces the time between information-decision-action. The Health Situation Room prioritizes interdisciplinary collaboration and increases the efficiency of the health system.
