      Guidance and Requirements for Crown Entities: Preparing the Annual Report 2012

      Updated 28 Jun 2012

      Treasury has updated the annual report guidance for Crown entities. This guidance document sets out what is expected and/or required of Crown entities in preparing their annual reports in accordance with the Crown Entities Act 2004. A good annual report can be a powerful way to promote better understanding and debate about how resources and powers were used, what was achieved in comparison to what was planned, and how to improve future performance. By doing so, it has the potential to create greater public trust and confidence in the work of the Crown entity.
