Book excerpt: Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are designed to enable policy makers to assess the need for, and impact of, new regulations. In 2005 Government departments produced around 200 'Final' RIAs. They have been used to assess the likely economic, social and environmental impacts of the proposed regulation, and the range of options for implementing it. They have grown in scope in recent years as additional assessment criteria, such as sustainable development, have been added. Departments have primary responsibility for undertaking RIAs, and the Better Regulation Executive (BRE), which forms part of the Cabinet Office, has primary responsibility for taking forward the Government's Better Regulation agenda. The National Audit Office focused its examination on four departments - Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS); Trade and Industry; Home Office; and Transport (DfT). RIAs are often not used in the right way. The purpose of RIAs is not always understood; there is a lack of clarity in the presentation of the analysis; and persistent weaknesses in the assessments. RIAs are only occasionally used to challenge the need for regulation and influence policy decisions. If used well, RIAs can offer an effective tool for assessing different options and identifying regulatory solutions that do not impose unnecessary costs on those being regulated. There are three ways the BRE should bolster RIAs. Firstly, it should re-emphasise that economics should lie at the heart of RIAs, considering market failure, counterfactuals, competition, and how consumers and organisations behave. Secondly, RIAs need to be supplemented by a broader toolkit that policy makers can use earlier in the life of a policy. Thirdly, the BRE could re-emphasise the importance of the RIA process in challenging the introduction of new regulations.

This book was released on 2007-07-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NAO report evaluates the quality of Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) produced by the Department of Health and the Department for Communities and Local Government, and considers how these departments are seeking to raise standards and improve their use. The aim of RIAs is to assess the need for, and impact of, proposed regulations and amendments to existing regulations. They are a tool to help policy makers understand the consequences of possible Government regulation. RIAs are required for all forms of government intervention that impose, or reduce, costs on businesses, the third sector or the public sector. The NAO concludes that RIAs were not always being used effectively. That they often did not form an integral part of the policy making process, from initial development through to implementation and review. The quality of RIAs as used by both departments was mixed, with assessment of costs and benefits the weakest area and insufficient consideration of the impact of regulations following implementation. Further, RIAs were often not commissioned or used early enough in policy formation. Also, RIAs were only occasionally used by Parliamentary Committees and to inform Parliamentary debate. Among the recommendations, set out by the NAO, include: that RIAs should consider more explicitly the impacts of legislation when it comes into force; that Departments should ensure their guidance, training and procedures emphasise the need for high quality analysis; that Departmental RIAs need to ensure there are clear statements on how and when post-implementation reviews will be conducted and that Departments need to develop a targeted package of training and support which integrates RIAs into mainstream policy development.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report sets out the NAO's second annual report on the effectiveness of Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs), which are used by Government to assess the costs and benefits of individual policies, and establish a balance between under and over regulation. Out of 175 RIAs produced during 2003-04, the report examines a sample of 10 , based on those identified by the Better Regulation Task Force as examples where lessons can be drawn. The evaluation is based on consideration of seven technical aspects of RIAs: defining the problem; the identification of alternative solutions; the analysis of costs and benefits; competition assessment; compliance analysis; taking account of small business; monitoring and evaluation. Findings include that there were examples where the RIA process had helped departments to develop a better policy proposal, and in one case had even led a Department to decide not to use regulation at all. However, there were also cases where its impact was limited because it had not been an integral part of the policy making process.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the effectiveness of Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs), which have been used by Government to assess the costs and benefits of individual policies, and establish a balance between under and over regulation. The Government produces over 200 RIAs per year, and the NAO examined 23 to identify good practice and their effectiveness in underpinning good policy decision-making. The three factors that make RIAs effective are: starting the process early; consulting effectively with those effected by the proposal; analyzing appropriately the likely costs and benefits. The NAO has set out 11 recommendations to making RIAs an effective policy tool, among them are: that any RIA process should be initiated as early as possible in the policy making process; that training and resourcing of RIAs should also be undertaken early; that departments should follow past practice when initiating new RIAs; that all RIAs should have a clear statement of objectives with a range of options to achieve the aims, and that RIAs should also include a detailed risk assessment.

Download or read book Handbook of Regulatory Impact Assessment written by Claire A. Dunlop and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) is the main instrument used by governments and regulators to appraise the likely effects of their policy proposals. This pioneering Handbook provides a comparative and comprehensive account of this tool, situating it in the relevant theoretical traditions and scrutinizing its use across countries, policy sectors and policy instruments. Comprising six parts, university researchers, international consultants and practitioners working in international organizations examine regulatory impact assessment from many perspectives, which include: • research traditions in the social sciences • implementation, regulatory indicators and effects • tools and dimensions such as courts and gender • sectoral case studies including environment, enterprise and international development • international diffusion in the European Union (EU), Americas, Asia and developing countries • appraisal, training and education. With its wealth of detail and lessons to be learned, the Handbook of Regulatory Impact Assessment will undoubtedly be of great value to practitioners and scholars working in governance, political science and socio-legal studies.

Book excerpt: The Committee's report examines the progress had been made by the Government to improve its process of environmental assessment in policy-making through the use of Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) (as the central mechanism for assessing costs and benefits of legislation), since a previous Committee report (HCP 261, session 2004-05, ISBN 9780215024336) on the topic was published in April 2005. The report also builds upon the findings of an NAO report produced in May 2006 (available at http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/nao_reports/05-06/ria_sustainable.pdf), and seeks to complement the Committee's continuing investigation of the Government's progress in 'greening' government and implementing the principles of sustainable development. Amongst its 28 conclusions and recommendations, the report finds that, in the absence of a viable alternative, the RIA process must be regarded as an appropriate, if far from ideal, platform for integrating sustainable development into policy decisions. However, a number of key changes are required, including the need for a concerted commitment to establish RIAs as an essential factor in considering policy, complemented by better training and guidance to improve the production of RIAs. The Committee argues that, in the wake of the Stern Review and the very real economic costs of inaction which it highlights, it is no longer viable to view environmentally-minded regulation as a straitjacket to industry, particularly in relation to environmental technology and services industries.

Download or read book Delivering High Quality Impact Assessments written by Great Britain. National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government is committed to conducting formal impact assessments of the need for and likely impact of new regulations. This National Audit Office report finds that scrutiny of proposed legislation is strengthening and that the standard is better than it was, but one fifth of assessments still do not include any quantified data to assess costs or benefits. The Better Regulation Executive (BRE) has introduced new guidance, templates and training to improve the quality of impact assessments and, as a result, impact assessments have clearer presentation of results, better planning for implementation, and more quantification of costs and benefits. But wide variation remains between the best and worst impact assessments. Where they are done well, the impact assessments include a clear statement of the policy problem, make good use of consultation and have clear recommendations. On the other hand, only 20 per cent of impact assessments presented the results of an evaluation of a range of regulatory options. Many impact assessments did not pay enough attention to compliance and enforcement issues. For example, only one third of assessments assessed the cost of enforcement for the preferred option. There have been improvements in the analysis of costs and benefits. In 2008, 67 per cent of impact assessments quantified costs and 60 per cent quantified benefits. Under the previous arrangements, the figures were 56 per cent for quantified costs and 40 per cent for quantified benefits. There is, however, still wide variation in the level of evidence provided and insufficient analysis in the weaker impact assessments.

Book Synopsis Better Regulation by : Stephen Weatherill
Download or read book Better Regulation written by Stephen Weatherill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-28 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discourse of 'Better Regulation' is a hot topic, intimately associated with the drive for cost savings and a more efficient economy. In the UK and in the EU, rule-makers have lately endeavoured to achieve a more satisfactory balance between the demands of proper protection from market failure and inequity on the one hand, and commercial freedom and the potential for innovation on the other. But who is the regulator listening to, and what effect does this have on the regulatory pattern governing the integrating EU market? What is best practice in the matter of regulatory assessment. The essays in this collection explore these and other questions and will foster greater understanding of UK and EU regulation, the accountability issues involved, and problems of enforcement. It is no coincidence that since efforts to construct a Constitution for Europe have stalled the attention of policy-makers, politicians and the business community has turned instead to the quest for Better Regulation - or perhaps, it might be said, a "Better European Union".
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Regulation by : Robert Baldwin
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Regulation written by Robert Baldwin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-07-19 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulation is often thought of as an activity that restricts behaviour and prevents the occurrence of certain undesirable activities, but the influence of regulation can also be enabling or facilitative, as when a market could potentially be chaotic if uncontrolled. This Handbook provides a clear and authoritative discussion of the major trends and issues in regulation over the last thirty years, together with an outline of prospective developments. It brings together contributions from leading scholars from a range of disciplines and countries. Each chapter offers a broad overview of key current issues and provides an analysis of different perspectives on those issues. Experiences in different jurisdictions and insights from various disciplines are drawn upon, and particular attention is paid to the challenges that are encountered when specific approaches are applied in practice. Contributors develop their own distinctive arguments relating to the central issues in regulation and apply scholarly rigour and clear writing to matters of high policy-relevance. The essays are original, accessible, and agenda-setting, and the Handbook will be essential reading both to students and researchers and to with regulatory and regulated professionals.
