Crown Entities Act 2004

Establishment and governance of Crown entities - Statutory entities - Collective duties of board

50: Manner in which functions must be performed

You could also call this:

"Doing the job in a way that helps the public and works with others"

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

When you are part of a board for a statutory entity, you must make sure the entity does its job efficiently and effectively. You must also do it in a way that shows you care about serving the public. You should work with other public entities, like those mentioned in the Public Audit Act 2001, when it is possible to do so. You have to make sure the entity does its job in a collaborative manner with other public entities. This means working together with them when you can.
