Legislative changes to extend functional
leadership mandates
• Changes to the Crown entity directions to support
whole of government approaches
• s107 of the Crown Entities Act amended to:
 give options for engaging with groups of Crown entities
 increase the range of purposes for a direction to any of:
•
•
•
•
•
improve (directly or indirectly) public services
secure economies or efficiencies
develop expertise and capability
ensure business continuity
manage risks to the government's financial position
• Crown entities have to give effect to a direction that
applies to them
 except CRIs which only have to have regard to a direction

Whole of government direction –
the process
• A direction can be initiated by any Minister, but
MoF and MoSS have to take the proposal to
Cabinet and issue the direction
• A proposal needs to have information on:
the issue (problem/opportunity) to be addressed
the costs/benefits (or advantages/disadvantages) and
how costs would be managed
how compliance will be monitored, and how
achievement of the intended benefits will be assessed
• Consultation – formal and genuine

Next steps

entity Chairs and CEs to start before Christmas
• Letters to all ‘in scope’ Crown entity Chairs
and CEs, and their monitoring departments:
– what is proposed
– consultation questions
– consultation contacts and processes
