metric; d) Identification of who recommended and who approved that change.
Please find attached a copy of the following document that was provided to the Board and Executive
which supported the decision to remove the claims processed per FTE measure from the 2024 Annual
Report:
• Board paper – Service Agreement 2023/24 – Measures and reporting
In 2023/24, ACC adopted a new performance measurement approach to align with the new strategic
direction established by Huakina Te Rā (ACC’s Enterprise strategy from 2023 to 2026) and the
Statement of Intent 2023 to 2027. Consequently, ACC selected particular measures that provided the
best visibility of its performance and progress to achieving its new strategic vision.
The attached Board paper provides a rationale for the new measurement approach. With regard to the
claims processed per FTE measurement, please refer to the Sustainability column of Appendix 3 on
page 13 for this information.
Service Agreements are an annual agreement between the ACC Board and Minister. ACC’s Annual
Report is an accountability document reporting on performance against the Service Agreement. The
claims processed per FTE measure was not included in the 2025/26 Service Agreement and therefore
was not required in the 2025 Annual Report.
One staff member’s name has been deemed out of the scope of your request and removed from the
document.
