Management Accountability Framework

What is Management Accountability Framework (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 elements that collectively define "management" and establish the expectations for good management of a department or agency.

It is based on:

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.
