Reporting on Performance
Performance overview
Our Scorecard provides an overview of performance based on the performance information contained in the 2006–07 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) and our 2006–07 Business Plan.
The performance measures that relate to the three output groups are quantitative in nature and are essentially concerned with issues of efficiency and productivity in delivering audit products. The measures relate primarily to quantity, timeliness and cost.
The outputs’ contributions to the achievement of our outcomes are also discussed. These sections relate primarily to the impacts (outcomes) that our outputs have on the Parliament, public sector entities and public sector administration in general. Both quantitative and qualitative measures are used to assess the performance.
This approach provides readers with an understanding of the link between our products (outputs) and their resulting impacts (outcomes). In turn, it will assist readers to assess how cost-effectively we are delivering our products and to what extent we are achieving agreed outcomes.
