5. Manage resources to achieve Government outcomes

'Manage resources to achieve Government outcomes' depicts whole-of-government level management, monitoring and reporting and corresponds to step 5 in the framework overview document.

Steps of the component

The steps involved in this process are:

• 5.1 Discuss with agencies emerging issues and identify risks and consider monitoring requirements (Treasury and DPC)
• 5.2 Monitor issues and identify risks (agency and whole-of-Government - financial and non-financial) (Treasury)
• 5.3 Brief CBRC on emergent and variations to resourcing requirements (Treasury)
• 5.4 Make decisions on emergent and variations to resourcing requirements (CBRC)
• 5.5 Revise whole-of-Government budget position and Forward Estimates (Treasury)
• 5.6 Undertake end-of-year process (Treasury)
• 5.7 Report actual results (financial and non-financial) (Treasury)

Other related steps are interconnected from the agency level of resource allocation and from the agency level of management of resources:

• 4.4 Update Forward Estimates (Agency)
• 6.3 Identify emergent and variations to resourcing requirements resulting from risks and opportunities (Agency).

These steps then feed into Agency planning processes.
