Recommendation Action Plan Responsibility Expected Completion Date
The department should document reasons for significant variances and develop action plans in response to those significant variances. Within the broader context of revisions to the WD Program Activity Architecture and Performance Measurement Framework, and the increased departmental use of variance analysis in performance reporting and management, the department will undertake the following:    
1. Analysis of 2011-12 PMF variances (actual results vs. targets) will be completed as part of MAF Round X.  In addition, a quarterly variance analysis will be prepared throughout 2012-13, identifying corrective action, where appropriate.
