-;Background
-:* Local Council Accounts are available for inspection for two months in the year after they have been finalised by the local authority in question.  The National Audit Office supplies a [https://www.nao.org.uk/code-audit-practice/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2015/03/Council-accounts-a-guide-to-your-rights.pdf Rights Guide to Local Authority Accounts] [pdf]detailing who has the right to inspect the accounts and what to expect.
-:* I think that by using blockchain technology we could produce access to local authority accounts in real time for anyone in the world.  This transparency could and should be extended to other parts of public spending.
