Public sector entities, including government owned corporations, must report publicly on their performance as part of their accountability obligations. This is typically done through published annual reports.

The government also monitors government owned corporations’ performance against performance targets agreed with shareholding ministers in their statements of corporate intent.

This information is essential for the public to understand how public sector entities are performing and where the government is spending public money. This allows the public to hold the government accountable for its results.
