The guidance sets out the purpose, content and process requirements for departmental information on strategic intentions. A department's information on its strategic intentions is often captured in a document called a Statement of Intent (SOI).
It includes a content checklist of the minimum legislative and Cabinet requirements for departmental strategic intentions prepared in accordance with the Public Finance Act 1989. Each department may need to supplement, modify, or amend the checklist to meet its circumstances.
