Abstract

The thesis will explore the use of advanced information visualization and human-computer interaction to help understand and manage the French public accounting budget at all hierarchical levels: from the country to the city or public institution.
Understanding the budget of public accounting is essential for decision-making and planning, but it remains very difficult outside of specialists, accountants, and administrative managers. However, a large number of people would like to be able to understand budgetary and accounting decisions, whether they are citizens or people in charge of implementing budgets and accounting.
The thesis will therefore focus on the study of the best visualizations and interactions to make budgets and accounting understandable to a large number of actors.
In particular, the thesis will focus on visual representations, interactions, and structural transformations of data to make them understandable from several perspectives, accounting but also related to important objectives and features such as green investments.
