“…The signaling theory suggests that due to the asymmetric information, the citizen can only evaluate the public management through the information disseminated by the mayor and this will tend to increase the level of financial disclosure, signaling positive aspects which lead to a positive assessment of their performance.

Given the results, not all local authorities disseminate all the financial information required by law on the websites. Among the factors tested, the size and political competition are the ones that seem to influence the level of disclosure of financial information on the websites. In the context of New Public Management, Public Administration should both focus on the citizen's needs, which are increasingly demanding, and promote the transparency and efficiency of public management. In this way, it should provide the public bodies not only with effective and efficient management
