Our performance

The agency uses key performance indicators to measure its achievements against its purpose and objectives. The framework incorporates a set of underlying principles that reflect the agency’s core functions as a regulator, while considering the agency’s current and future performance reporting obligations. The framework provides the flexibility to respond to changes in administered schemes and allows us to measure our performance through a number of metrics.
