Background
The Uhrig Review considered the corporate governance of Commonwealth statutory authorities and office holders.
The report on the findings of the Uhrig Review recommended, among other things, that:
- Ministers should issue Statements of Expectations to their portfolio bodies to clearly articulate the Government's expectations of each body, whilst respecting areas of independence of the body in accordance with the legislation establishing it;
- the body should respond to the Minister in a Statement of Intent which outlines how it proposes to meet the Minister's expectations;
- the Statements of Expectations and Intent should be subject to review on an annual basis, or more regularly where appropriate.
Further information on the Uhrig Review is available from the Department of Finance and Administration
