Inquiry into Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 Rules Development

Terms of Reference

On 13 February 2014, the Joint Public Accounts and Audit Committee resolved to inquire into and report on the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) rules development. The Committee will consider the process for the development of the rules, the impact of the rules, and the purpose of the rules in the context of the broader Public Management Reform Agenda.

Please note:

• The Committee invites interested persons and organisations to make submissions addressing the terms of reference by 24 March 2014;
• The Committee’s inquiry is a separate process from the initial consultation process on the proposed rules undertaken by the Department of Finance;
• Following this initial consultation process the Department of Finance will be submitting updated draft rules to the Committee, which the Committee intends to publish on its website on 6 March 2014; and
• Individuals and organisations making submissions to the inquiry are encouraged to have reference to these updated draft rules, and other submissions made by the Department of Finance.
