Outcome-output framework

The following describes our Outcome-Output framework, as set out in the 2006–07 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS). Figure 2 shows current outputs and their relationships through output groups to our outcomes.

The three output groups contribute in varying degrees to the achievement of our outcomes. The next major section of this report, ‘Reporting on Performance’, outlines each of our outputgroups and details the performance of those groups in achieving the outcomes. The financial resources for 2006–07, on an outcome–output basis, are summarised in Table 1. Tables 2 and 3 detail the financial resources for each outcome.

Our financial statements for 2006–07 and a commentary on our financial performance for the financial year are set out at Appendix 2.

  • 3 The ANAO’s 2006–07 PBS shows BSP and protective security audits in Output 3 Assurance Audit Services. As a result of a restructure in July 2006, BSP and protective security audits are now included in Output Group 1, Performance Audit Services because these audits are conducted under the performance audit provision of the Auditor-General Act 1997 and a change in focus of these audits results in them contributing more to Outcome 1 than to Outcome 2.
