Crown Entity/Statutory Board Monitoring
The Ministry will provide advice to support the government in its role as "purchaser" and/or "owner" of a number of Crown entities and statutory boards. This includes advice to the government on appointments, roles and functions, and on the overall contribution of each organisation to the Government's policy objectives.
These organisations are directly accountable to Ministers for their performance in supplying agreed output classes. They are funded through a mix of Crown and third party revenue. The Ministry of Economic Development administers non-departmental appropriations to particular Crown entities through Votes administered by the Ministry.
Service Performance
Generic quantity, quality and timeliness performance measures for all policy advice, Ministerial services and briefings supplied by the Ministry of Economic Development are detailed in the Ministry of Economic Development's Quality Standards for Policy Advice and Ministerial Servicing.
