In this section:

2.3 Departmental outputs


The work DOC does (the outputs it delivers) to achieve each of the intermediate outcomes is shown in Table 1. Quality assurance for this work is managed through DOC’s development and implementation of best practice and standard operating procedures. Further information on quality assurance is provided in the reports on DOC’s operating intentions (sections 5–11). Where external standards are not available, and/or DOC is the only agency undertaking work in New Zealand, it uses an internal peer review process to ensure best practice remains up to date. This process is shown in Figure 3.
