The Minister of Finance, the Treasury, the State Services Commissioner and the State Services Commission have statutory responsibilities regarding Crown entities and the Act (Appendix 3). Ministers, and departments supporting Ministers in their interactions with Crown entities, should seek the support of the central agencies when appropriate.
Central agencies advise their Ministers on how the Public Sector Management system is performing (including, at an aggregate level, how entities are performing), and support their Ministers' decision-making and statutory approval roles under the Act. They advise on how departments are performing their monitoring functions.
