What is MAF?
The Management Accountability Framework sets out the Treasury Board's
expectations of senior public service managers for good public service
management.
The MAF is structured around 10 key elements that collectively define
"management" and establish the expectations for good management of a
department or agency.
The Management Accountability Framework is:
- A vision for good management.
- It defines the conditions that need to be in place to ensure
government is well-managed and to promote management excellence.
- A process.
- This process includes annual MAF assessments of most departments and
agencies, engagement between deputy heads and TBS/PSHRMAC where
warranted, joint agreement on specific management improvement action
plans and ultimately public reporting on the state of management.
- An analytical tool.
- The government uses MAF assessments to identify management strengths
and weaknesses in individual departments and agencies and ultimately on
a government wide basis.
