Reporting and governance

Ministerial statements of expectations aim to improve regulatory governance and performance. The statements articulate the Government's priorities and objectives for each of its regulators. Regulators report annually on actions to fulfil these expectations.

The development of each statement is a collaborative effort. Consultation takes place with each regulator to ensure the statements are fit for purpose and take into account the regulator's circumstances, including objectives, legislative basis, size of organisation, and current practices and processes.
