State Sector Public Finance Reform resources
Page updated 17 Sep 2013
The July 2013 amendments to the Public Finance Act 1989 and the Crown Entities Act 2004:
- provide for more flexible funding to support results
- require more meaningful reporting on what is intended to be achieved and what has been achieved with expenditure from appropriations
- lift the strategic focus of statements of intent to drive a clearer focus on results and outcomes
- clarify the financial responsibilities of the department (and departmental agency) chief executives [PFA s.34, s.35].
This page for public sector agencies and other interested parties contains resource materials and presentations that are being used to explain the changes made by the amendments and the implementation timetable. The Treasury is in the process of updating related guidance materials. As these are completed agencies will be notified and they will be published online.
