The ACC reviewed its performance as part of an integrated performance management
process. In line with the Outcome and Outputs Framework, the ACC developed,
monitored, reviewed and assessed the following plans against performance objectives
for all operational and corporate areas:
• Corporate Plan: A one year plan for 2003–04, but will be redeveloped as a
three year plan for 2004-07. This plan detailed the ACC’s vision, mission, and
values. 1
• Strategic Direction Statement: A three year plan outlining the strategic goals
and objectives of the ACC.
• ACC Business Plan: A one year plan that included the ACC fi nancial management
plan which costs each output, as well as the output management plan. This plan
detailed the key performance measures for each output, and the key initiatives
and deliverables for that year. These initiatives and deliverables were tied to,
and refl ected, the ACC’s internal budget allocations.
• Business unit plans: Developed annually and reviewed every six months.
Business unit plans detailed the major activities, deliverables and performance
measures for each business unit for that year. They are linked to business unit
internal budget appropriations.

established for the relevant business unit as a whole.
