Abstract

Every territorial authority in New Zealand is obliged under the Local Government Act 2002 to tell its own agency performance story as well as the progress story of its local community. Auditor expectations are that councils will also describe and monitor the linkages between council performance and community progress (i.e. the attribution story). This paper brings together guidance from a range of sources on how to tell the dual council-community performance story. It emphasises the need to present robust information with both depth and breadth, and presents ideas on the role of attribution story-telling in councils’ decision-making processes. Key lessons include presenting both sides of the performance story (from outputs to outcomes and outcomes to outputs), and adopting both a strategic thinking and evaluative approach to evidence informed decision-making.
