The government will develop whole-of-government guidance on best practice principles for debt management. Agencies will then be asked to review their debt management procedures to identify and implement improvements for their specific debt profile, taking into consideration legislation, policy and ICT considerations. Additional measures will be considered to improve the levels of scrutiny and reporting of debt management within agencies to assist facilitation of enhanced debtor management.
The government takes debt management seriously and has already been proactive in improving its debt management arrangements. The strategies proposed in the government response clearly demonstrate the government’s commitment to further enhance these arrangements by establishing a more robust framework for efficient and effective processes for debt management within the territory government. I commend this government response to the Assembly.
