Resumo(s)

This article provides a qualitative overview of literature on politicians’ use of financial and non-financial information over recent decades. Key themes include performance management, accountability, usability, and political decision-making and governance. While research has advanced in understanding how politicians use such data, gaps remain. Under-explored areas include trust in information, financial literacy among politicians, the impact of information design and presentation, and the growing influence of digital technologies and real-time data access on financial and non-financial information use by politicians. © 2025 The Author(s).
