Staff Remuneration
Crown Entities
The following Crown entities were administered through Votes administered by the Ministry of Economic Development during the year:
- Accounting Standards Review Board
- Commerce Commission
- Electricity Commission
- New Zealand Tourism Board
- New Zealand Trade and Enterprise
- Securities Commission
- Takeovers Panel
While the Ministry administers the non-departmental appropriations to the Crown entities, they are directly accountable to Ministers for their performance in supplying agreed output classes.
The Ministry is the Government's "purchase advisor" in relation to these Crown entities. This is a significant responsibility, covering advice on appointments, role and functions, and the overall contribution of each Crown entity to the Government's policy objectives. Management of the relationships with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (a role undertaken jointly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade), and the Commerce Commission has been particularly important, given the major contribution each makes to advancing economic development.
During the year, the Ministry also advised Ministers on ownership interests relating to the following Crown entities:
- Building Industry Authority
- Standards Council
- Testing Laboratory Registration Council (TELARC)
Other Entities
The Ministry also advises Ministers on ownership interests related to the Copyright Tribunal and the Joint Accreditation System of Australia-New Zealand (JASANZ).
Legal Responsibilities
The Ministry has approximately 1000 legal obligations in a wide range of Acts and regulations. These are listed as at 30 June 2005 in Appendix 1.
The identified obligations have been placed on an electronic database designed to ensure that the list of legal responsibilities and the arrangements for ensuring compliance are kept up to date. The system also records the point of responsibility within the Ministry.
