Public sector entities, including government owned corporations, must report publicly on their performance as part of their accountability obligations. This is typically done through the annual reports they publish.
The government also monitors government owned corporations’ performance against performance targets agreed with their shareholders.
This reporting is essential if the public is to understand how public sector entities are performing and where the government is prioritising the spending of public money.
