This paper analyses fiscal platforms of selected OECD countries, examining how governments leverage digital tools to communicate financial data and information to the public. It evaluates the core objectives and essential features of these platforms, exploring opportunities for their enhancement through advanced communication strategies and the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence. The analysis reveals the potential for governments to adopt a hybrid approach to fiscal reporting, combining traditional methods with digital platforms to optimise information delivery and accessibility. We argue that governments should strategically assess and utilise the distinct advantages of each communication channel to better serve stakeholders' diverse information needs and streamline reporting.
