A key feature of the more successful and durable frameworks in place internationally is the existence of clear structures and processes for integrating meaningful performance information into budget and related policy deliberations. The jurisdictions that have best done this, like Korea and Chile, have democratic and bureaucratic arrangements that are not comparable to Australia’s. Both countries allow their bureaucracy (through the Finance Ministry) to reduce entity funding due to poor performance. For the other countries in the study, the systematic incorporation of performance information into budget decision-making is rare. To improve government resource decision-making, performance information needs to be effectively and efficiently integrated into the budget process. Agencies delivering programmes are best placed to manage and evaluate their performance. However, a balance needs to be struck between decentralised performance management and centralised accountability. Central agencies are better positioned to draw whole-of-government lessons, but often lack programme expertise and access to programme data. Reform in this area, including cultural change, is likely to require a comprehensive, structured and deliberate approach to system design and may involve phased introduction to allow for effective implementation. Enhanced Commonwealth Performance Framework—Discussion Paper | 41
Attachment D: The current performance framework The existing outcomes and programmes framework provides the reporting requirements against which Portfolio Budget Statements and annual reports are currently structured. The framework is intended to provide a clear line of sight from budget financial appropriations through to a portfolio strategic statement, portfolio outcomes, portfolio programmes, and finally to portfolio programme performance information. The structural elements covered in both Portfolio Budget Statements and annual reports are shown in Figure D1. The Portfolio Budget Statements and annual reports are formal ministerial documents, which must be tabled to meet a Minister’s accountability obligations to Parliament.
