Negli ultimi anni il settore non profit, più di ogni altro, ha assistito al proliferare di prescrizioni normative, linee guida e modelli di rendicontazione sociale e di missione. Cogliendo l’opportunità di un così ricco panorama, il presente lavoro si propone di riflettere sul concetto di accountability delle aziende non profit, con particolare riferimento ai nuovi scenari e alle possibilità offerte dall’evoluzione dei sistemi di welfare. In modo specifico, viene presentata una riflessione sulle forme di rendicontazione condivise e partecipate, quale possibile esercizio di contemperamento di diversi interessi, doveri e responsabilità e premessa di un più ampio e generale governo partecipato nella gestione dei servizi di pubblica utilità, e nello specifico di quelli alla persona.
In recent years the nonprofit sector, more than any other, has witnessed a proliferation of regulatory requirements, guidelines and models of social and mission reporting. Seizing the opportunity offered by such a rich panorama, this paper aims to reflect on the concept of accountability for nonprofit organizations, with particular reference to the new scenarios and opportunities arising from the evolution of welfare systems. More specifically, we consider new forms of shared and participatory accountability as a possible way of moderating different interests, duties and responsibilities and as an introduction to a broader and more generally shared management of public utilities and, in particular, of social services.
