The Commission is accountable to the Minister of Commerce and Associate Minister of Commerce for its performance. Our independence allows us to be an impartial promoter and enforcer of the law.
The Commission delivers it outputs under an Output Agreement with the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Communications and Information Technology.
Our work is funded through Vote Commerce and through Vote Communications.
The Commission's performance is measured against a very detailed set of Output Measures, which are agreed with our monitoring agency, the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE). We produce a Statement of Intent annually setting out our future work programme and report against this quarterly to the government via MBIE, and annually to the government and taxpayers of New Zealand via the Annual Report.
