Iran Parliament Votes to Augment Transparency

To help inculcate transparency in statecraft, the parliament ratified one amendment to the next year’s (March 2019-20) budget bill on Monday obliging government-affiliated firms to log their activities in an online system. 
According to the parliamentary news website ICANA, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance and the Plan and Budget Organization are in charge of creating infrastructure by late July for launching an integrated online system to show the performance of government and non-government public companies.
The measure makes it mandatory for the entities as well as municipalities of cities with over one million people to register and regularly update data about their financial statements, budgetary performance, project investments, number of employees (mentioning the types of work contracts and wages) by the end of first half of the next fiscal in September.
