Municipalities need to be considered in a holistic perspective in financial and administrative terms. A municipality and its subsidiaries should be reviewed and analyzed in a consolidated manner so that a meaningful understanding of effectiveness and efficiency could be achieved. All resources utilized by a municipality and its subsidiaries are public resources, so they need to be monitored in a consolidated manner. Such an approach improves stakeholder’s trust.
