RMGs are guidance documents. The purpose of an RMG is to support PGPA Act entities and companies in meeting the requirements of the PGPA framework. As guides, RMGs explain the legislation and policy requirements in plain English. RMGs support accountable authorities and officials to apply the intent of the framework. It is an official’s responsibility to ensure that Finance guidance is monitored regularly for updates, including changes in policy/requirements.

Audience

This guide is for officials of Commonwealth entities (non-corporate Commonwealth entities and corporate Commonwealth entities) who are responsible for assisting their accountable authority to prepare annual performance statements.

Commonwealth companies - under the PGPA Act, Commonwealth companies are not required to produce annual performance statements. This guidance therefore does not apply to Commonwealth companies. However, companies are required to report, in their annual reports, on the actual performance results achieved against the performance information outlined in their corporate plans (section 28E(aa) of the PGPA Rule).
