For a number of Crown entities, the requirements will be largely unchanged from previous statutes. Overall, however, the previous patchwork of obligations is now replaced with comprehensive and consistent requirements.
Over the next few months the Treasury and State Services Commission will be in contact with you regarding specific aspects of the implementation process. The Treasury will be providing further information on financial matters and guidance on Statements of Intent to be prepared under the Act for 2006/07. The State Services Commissioner will be conducting a thorough process of engagement on standards of conduct and integrity, starting in February 2005.
Yours sincerely
