The Government Transformation Programme (GTP) is committed
to high standards of transparency and accountability, which
commitment is reflected in the volume of information the teams
make available to the public and international reviewers through
various channels. These channels include the Annual Report,
Open Day Q&As as well as the regular publication of updates in
the media and on its web sites.
204
The Roadmap for the first horizon for the GTP,
otherwise known as GTP 1.0, was published in
2009 and contains a detailed structure of the
programme’s plans and targets. The results of
the initiatives in 2012 are measured against
this backdrop for each specific National Key
Result Area (NKRA) and are published in this
annual report.
Greatest care has been made to ensure
that the results published in this annual
report are as transparent as possible, with
greatest care taken to ensure that the results
collected and tabulated are accurate. To this
end, PEMANDU engaged an independent third
party, PricewaterhouseCoopers Malaysia (PwC),
to ensure consistency and accuracy in the
GTP’s methods, including data collection and
measurement. PwC, an independent professional
services firm, established a series of Agreed
Upon Procedures (AUPs)–specific tests and
procedures to review reported results–for the
KPIs. The AUPs were applied to a sample taken
from the key performance indicators of each
NKRA and agency. Each NKRA’s calculations were
also checked against guidelines and formulae
originally developed in the NKRAs’ labs and
prescribed by PEMANDU.
Over the course of this exercise, PwC’s findings
highlighted a number of exceptions on the
samples selected, which were subsequently
addressed and are reflected in this Annual
Report. PwC has confirmed that the results
reported for the selected samples in the Annual
Report have been validated according to the
AUPs. PwC also identified opportunities to
improve processes and the quality of information.
By working together with the relevant Ministries
and private sector stakeholders, PEMANDU will
take prescriptive action to implement these
improvements over the next 12 months.

2012 NKRa Performance
and Expenditure Budget
205
In the interest of transparency and accountability, we present
here a detailed summary of the NKRA performance and
expenditure budget. One of the key distinctions of the GTP is
its emphasis on cost effectiveness rather than expenditure. The
GTP adopts a preference for budget savings, where possible, as
long as it does not impede the achievements of the NKPIs.

Three varying scoring methodologies were used to assess the success of the NKPIs and the NKRAs.
Each one has a varying level of strictness (added rules) providing three different testing benchmarks.
The rationale for this approach is to ensure that the results achieved are truly robust. The scoring
methodologies are explained below:
Scoring Method description
Method 1 Scoring is calculated by a simple comparison against set 2012 targets.
The overall NKRA composite scoring is the average of all scores
Method 2 Scoring is calculated by dividing actual results against set 2012 targets with an
added rule:
If the scoring is less than 100%, score #2 is taken as the actual percentage
If the scoring is equal or more than 100%, score#2 is taken as 100% The
overall NKRA composite scoring is the average of all scores
Method 3 Scoring is calculated by dividing actual results against set 2012 targets with an
added rule:
If the scoring is equal and less than 50%, score #3 is indicated as 0
If the scoring is more than 50% and less than 99%, score #3 is
indicated as 0.5
If the scoring is equal or more than 100%, score #3 is indicated as 1
