The OECD‟s way of working consists of a highly effective process that begins with data collection and analysis and moves on to collective discussion of policy, then decision-making and implementation. Mutual examination by governments, multilateral surveillance and peer pressure to conform or reform are at the heart of OECD effectiveness. Much of the material collected and analysed at the OECD is published on paper or online; from press releases and regular compilations of data and projections to one-time publications or monographs on particular issues; from economic surveys of each member country to regular reviews of education systems, science and technology policies or environmental performance.

    A4. CLASSIFICATION OF AGENCIES The financial activities of all governments are measured using the government finance statistics (GFS) framework.1 All entities controlled by governments are classified into sectors according to the nature of their activities and funding arrangements. For financial reporting and policy framework purposes, NSW Treasury classifies each NSW Government entity under one of three sectors: general government sector public non-financial corporations public financial corporations. Together, these sectors make up the total state sector. This is not a GFS term, but it is used to describe the scope of all government activities representing the total state. The nature of each sector as it relates to NSW Government entities is as follows: General The general government sector represents the scope of the Budget. Agencies in this sector government sector generally operate under the Financial Management Framework and carry out policy, regulatory and service delivery functions. This sector includes agencies such as the Ministry of Health, Department of Education, NSW Police Force, Rental Bond Board and Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal. ‘General government sector’ is defined under GFS as the institutional sector comprising all government units and non-profit institutions controlled by the Government. Public non-financial Agencies in this sector are either commercial or non-commercial. corporations sector Commercial enterprises generally operate under the Commercial Policy Framework, which aims to replicate disciplines and incentives that drive the efficient commercial practices of private sector businesses. They deliver services to a customer base from which they receive their income. They generally pay dividends and tax-equivalent payments to the general government sector.
