Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

Please treat this as a request for official information under the Official Information Act 1982.

This request is made in the public interest to support transparency around how fiscal responsibility, workforce decisions, and executive accountability align within ACC’s operating model. As someone with a strong interest in performance-focused, efficient public institutions, I believe this information is essential to understanding scale, structure, and resource prioritisation over time.

The information requested below reflects standard internal financial and operational reporting that should be readily available.

1. Budget vs Actual Expenditure by Executive Portfolio – FY2021 to FY2024

For each financial year from FY2021 to FY2024, please provide the following for each Executive Leadership Team (ELT) member’s portfolio (i.e., all cost centres and areas reporting to them):

- The approved annual budget and actual expenditure (If any dollar figures are considered sensitive, please provide percentage variance instead.)
- Include the name of the relevant ELT member responsible for the portfolio in each year.

2. FTE by Executive Portfolio – FY2021 to Present

For each Executive Leadership Team member’s portfolio, please provide:

- The budgeted FTE vs actual FTE for each financial year from FY2021 through to the current financial year to date.
- The year-on-year change in actual FTE (as a number or percentage).
- If internal tracking includes more granular time points (e.g., quarterly or mid-year FTE), that is welcomed.
- Include the name of the relevant ELT member responsible for the portfolio in each year.

In addition, for front-line and service delivery roles, please provide:

- Any instances since FY2021 to today where FTE increases were sought and approved.
- Copies of or excerpts from relevant approval documents, such as ELT or Board memos or submissions, which approved or endorsed increases in FTE for service delivery functions (e.g. Contact Centres, Claims Operations, Recovery Teams, etc.).

3. Outstanding Claims Liability (OCL) – FY2018 to FY2024

Please provide the year-end Outstanding Claims Liability (OCL) figure for each financial year from FY2018 to FY2024.

- Include the name of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) accountable for each year.
- If available, please also include the annual growth rate or percentage change in OCL over this period.

4. ACC Investment Fund – Year-End Balances – FY2018 to FY2024

Please provide the year-end balance of the ACC Investment Fund (or any equivalent structure or name it may have had) for each of the financial years FY2018 to FY2024.

- If the structure, naming, or reporting format of the fund changed during this period, please include a short explanatory note.

These are core indicators of financial discipline, organisational scale, and leadership accountability. Should any part of this request be likely to require substantial collation under section 18(f) of the Act, please advise early so I may consider refining the scope.

Yours faithfully,

DC
