I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation seven which was to, -
‘Modify the existing performance reporting regime by, -
(a) ensuring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for service delivery to citizens and the community are aligned with Outcome Areas;
(b) ensuring all reporting requirements of agencies are commensurate with their scale and risk;
(c) developing consistent KPIs for facilitative roles that are common across similar functions (for example, compliance with legislation, grant administration costs); and
(d) avoiding KPIs for policy, planning and research functions, recognising that the value of these functions cannot be effectively assessed in this manner’,
and ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation seven have been achieved, -
(a) provide an implementation plan (including roles and priority areas) to Executive Coordinating Committee for establishing common KPIs across Agencies where appropriate (March 2010);
(b) identify any changes to reporting requirements arising from the
Financial Management Act 2006
(FMA) that could be modified to take account of scale and risk (October 2010);
(c) develop an alternative framework for reporting performance by Agencies with largely strategic policy, planning and research functions (by October 2010); and
(d) revise Treasurer’s Instruction TI904 and possibly FMA (December 2010)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation seven have not been achieved, why not?
