Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014
View history note
Hide history noteThe purpose of this section is to set out matters that the accountable authority of a Commonwealth entity must include in the entity ' s annual performance statements.
The annual performance statements may also include other matters and, for some Commonwealth entities, the entity ' s enabling legislation may require that other matters be included in the performance statements.
A Commonwealth entity ' s corporate plan and any Portfolio Budget Statement, Portfolio Additional Estimates Statement or other portfolio estimates statement for a reporting period set out how the entity ' s performance will be measured and assessed in achieving the entity ' s purposes in the reporting period. The entity ' s annual performance statements, which set out the results of that measurement and assessment, are included in the entity ' s annual report for the reporting period. The measurement and assessment relate only to that particular reporting period, even though the corporate plan sets out how the entity ' s performance will be measured and assessed for at least 4 reporting periods.
This section is made for subsection 38(2) and paragraph 39(2)(b) of the Act.
Measuring and assessing entity ' s performance
16F(1)
In preparing the annual performance statements for a Commonwealth entity for a reporting period, the accountable authority of the entity must measure and assess the entity ' s performance in achieving the entity ' s purposes in the reporting period in accordance with the method of measuring and assessing the entity ' s performance in the reporting period that was set out in the entity ' s corporate plan, and in any Portfolio Budget Statement, Portfolio Additional Estimates Statement or other portfolio estimates statement, that were prepared for the reporting period.
Note:
Annual performance statements for a Commonwealth entity must be prepared for a reporting period for the entity and included in the entity ' s annual report for that reporting period (see subsection 39(1) of the Act).
