The Management Accountability Framework (MAF) establishes the standards for management in the Government of Canada and is the basis for management accountability between departments/agencies and the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) and the Public Service Human Resources Management Agency (PSHRMAC).
In 2005, the TBS and PSHRMAC assessed the state of management in over 50 departments
and agencies (including the Privy Council Office) using the 41 indicators in
the MAF. The results are a snapshot of a department’s performance
against a specific set of standards, as of March 31, 2006. They do not reflect
the efforts made towards strengthening management performance since that time. The
TBS and PSHRMAC continue to work with federal government departments and agencies
to refine this assessment tool.
These assessments, as well as links to general information about MAF, video
presentations, information on the history and background of MAF and frequently
asked questions, are available at: http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/maf-crg/index_e.asp
