This paper focuses on the indicator systems that responsibility accounting may provide for performance evaluation in the public sector. Specifically, two conditions which such indicator systems should satisfy —‘relevance’ and ‘coherence’—are examined. Thereby a value for money auditing model incorporating these conditions is developed and applied to a system of performance indicators created for a Dutch defence agency.
