Attachment G: Annual performance statement
template
The PGPA Act requires Commonwealth entities to complete annual performance statements at
the end of each financial year. The first annual performance statements will be required at the
end of the 2015–16 financial year. However, the phased introduction of the full suite of
performance framework requirements necessitates a progressive implementation of the
performance statement requirement.
This attachment details a proposed template structure for the performance statement to be
published within entities’ annual reports for the 2015–16 financial year. It is intended to
improve current performance reporting arrangements and introduce entities to the new
requirements while maintaining direct alignment to existing performance information within
the Portfolio Budget Statements. This format is intended to be in place until proposed
performance plan requirements are implemented, if this initiative gains support and proceeds.
If it does, then this template could be modified along the lines outlined in the body of this
discussion paper.
