3 Statement of Performance Expectations The purpose of a Statement of Performance Expectations is to: set annual performance expectations provide a base against which actual performance can be assessed provide an explanation of how performance will be assessed provide forecast financial statements. Our Statement of Performance Expectations 2016/17 complements our Statement of Intent 2015/16 2018/19 (SOI). Our SOI describes what the Tertiary Education Commission Te Amorangi Mātauranga Matua (the TEC) intends to achieve over the four years 2015/16 to 2018/19. The Tertiary Education Strategy Our strategic direction is underpinned by the Tertiary Education Strategy 2014 19, which sets out the Government s current to long-term direction priorities for tertiary education. The strategy emphasises the opportunity for New Zealand to develop a tertiary system that is more flexible, outward-facing, engaged and focused on improving outcomes for learners and employers. It presents six priorities that shape what we do: Priority 1: Delivering skills for industry Priority 2: Getting at-risk young people into a career Priority 3: Boosting achievement of Māori and Pasifika Priority 4: Improving adult literacy and numeracy Priority 5: Strengthening research-based institutions Priority 6: Growing international linkages. The Business Growth Agenda The Business Growth Agenda is central to the Government s priority of building a more productive and competitive economy. Lifting productivity and competitiveness is critical to creating business opportunities, more jobs and higher wages and ultimately the higher living standards to which New Zealanders aspire. Our role is to support the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to match skills training to employers needs by investing in tertiary knowledge and skills that meet employers needs. Better Public Services To sharpen the public sector s focus on high-quality delivery, the Government has set Better Public Services targets. For tertiary education the priority is to boost skills and employment by increasing educational achievement. We contribute towards these two targets: by 2017, 85 percent of 18-year-olds will have achieved a National Certificate of Educational Achievement level 2 or an equivalent qualification by 2018, 60 percent of 25- to 34-year-olds will have a qualification at level 4 and above on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework.

Note 2 Priority group 2014 and 2015 actuals are percentages of total learners (not funded learners). Note 3 The decrease for Refugee English between 2017 and 2018 is owing to the end of additional funding provided in response to the Syrian Refugees.

Note 5 The totals represent the aggregation of all commitments at 100% of expected delivery. Note 6 The decrease between 2014 and 2015 for the Workplace Literacy and Numeracy Fund is owing to the rationalisation of this fund, including a fixed funding rate. As part of this rationalisation, employee targeted provision was incorporated into the tertiary education organisations led part of the Workplace Literacy and Numeracy Fund. This took effect in January 2015. Note 7 In 2016, as a one-off increase, approximately 500 learners will be funded from our balance sheet and the balance of approximately 1,600 learners will be funded from the Workplace Literacy and Numeracy Fund appropriation.

42 Notes to the Financial Statements Statement of Accounting Policies Reporting Entity The TEC is a Crown entity as defined by the Crown Entities Act 2004 and was established on 1 January 2003 pursuant to section 159C of the Education Act 1989. It is domiciled in New Zealand. The TEC s ultimate parent is the New Zealand Crown. The TEC s primary objective is to provide services to the New Zealand public, as opposed to that of making a financial return. Accordingly, the TEC has designated itself as a public benefit entity (PBE) for financial reporting purposes. Basis of Preparation Statement of compliance The forecast financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Education Act 1989 and Crown Entities Act 2004, which include the requirement to comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP), except as outlined below in regards to grants expenditure relating to the funding of tertiary education organisations. The forecast financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP as appropriate for public benefit entities and they comply with Tier 1 PBE standards, except as outlined below in regards to grants expenditure relating to the funding of tertiary education organisations. While there is no material adjustment on transition to the new PBE accounting standards, we have been unable to determine a reliable estimate of the impact of PBE accounting standards in relation to grants expenditure recognised in these forecast financial statements. This is due to the complexity of the application of the new PBE accounting standards in relation to grants expenditure and the need for additional levels of technical review associated with the application of those standards. The financial impact of its application is unknown at this stage. However, it is expected that the TEC will apply the new accounting standards for grant expenditure as the basis for preparation for the 30 June 2016 financial statements and forecast outyears. The forecast financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period. The purpose of these forecast financial statements is to provide information on the TEC s future operating intentions against which it must report, and be audited against, at the end of the fiscal year. Use of this information for any other purpose may not be appropriate. Please note that these financial statements contain no actual results. Actual results achieved are likely to vary from the forecast information and the variation may be material. Basis of measurement The forecast financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
