Abstract | The rise of New Public Management is often seen as undermining traditional systems of parliamentary financial oversight. One of the most prevalent of such systems is the public accounts committee, found in most Westminster parliamentary systems. We examine the experience of such a committee, the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee in the State of Victoria, Australia, at a time when a reforming state government implemented wide‐ranging reforms based on the principles of new public management. We argue that the strength of the committee can be understood by using a historical institutionalism perspective. |
