The federal policy think tank NITI Aayog will work with the States on issues relating to public finance management, its Vice-Chairman Suman Bery said on Thursday.
The 15th Finance Commission and the ones prior have observed that there is a lack of consistency in the transparency of fiscal accounts of States, he said while delivering the inaugural address at the 2nd Annual Conference on Public Finance and Policy, which was organised by the Centre for Public Finance, Madras School of Economics (MSE).
The think thank would look into how the lack of consistency and transparency in the fiscal accounts of States impact their capacity to advance their development agenda, Mr. Bery said.
