"In Brazil and Mexico, audits were more effective when information about corrupt practices was publicized through local radio stations...Broadcasting audit results through independent media can magnify their impact on holding elected officials accountable. For example, in a quasi-experimental study in Puerto Rico, audit results released in the period leading up to a municipal election were better at curbing corruption than reports released after the election."
