I have to say, I have come to the conclusion Benefacts was too transparent. We have this supposedly open Government approach but I do not see how that can manifest without tools such as this one, which was working, usable and being used and which had potential other uses. When it comes to value for money, starting a project, getting it to that point and then ceasing it seems to be the opposite of that.

Did the Comptroller and Auditor General's office have any reason to use Benefacts? Is it the kind of tool that would be useful for internal audit? What kind of functions did it use it for, if it was used?
