I think I know what you're getting at. I don't know of any countries that are better than we are at handling that.
For the most part, the focus is on the investigations that do find something. The result is public and everybody reads the same report. I understand what you're saying, and I understand the comparison with the legal community and the accused and that sort of thing. On the other hand, I can see how that would make this whole.... I mean, you're absolutely right: this is all politics. That's why I question the concept of enforceability and accountability as they apply here, because all of what we're talking about is within the realm of politics. If you're charging someone $200 or $500 because they weren't complying with the code, does that mean that the code is enforced? Well, no. It just means that there's a $200 cost associated with not disclosing. I don't think I would jump to enforceability just because there are monetary penalties in place.
I can see how, if these kinds of investigations and reports are used as political tools, and the results, whatever they are, are published, it could lead to more politicization and just a longer shelf life for this thing in the public eye.
