Overview
The ACT Executive consists of the Chief Minister and other Ministers and their staff. The ACT Executive has powers under the Australian Capital Territory (Self Government) Act 1988 to govern the Territory and execute and maintain enactments and laws.
During the reporting period the responsibility for the administration of the budget appropriation for the ACT Executive rested with the Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate. Governance oversight, including Audit and Risk Committee, forms part of the governance structure within the Directorate. The ACT Executive financial results, including asset management, and the Management Discussion and Analysis are reported in Volume 2 of the 2013-14 Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate Annual Report.

Financial management and associated reporting was provided to the ACT Executive through the Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate. The provision of payroll services was through Shared Services.
Accommodation and building security was controlled by the Office of the Legislative Assembly, who also provided oversight of workplace health and safety and associated risk management, facilities management and workplace environmental management. Reporting on these issues is contained in the 2013-14 ACT Office of the Legislative Assembly Annual Report.
Corporate administrative and financial support, including protocol matters, awards, functions and events were provided by the Executive Support and Protocol Unit in the Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate. Administrative operations are subject to the same governance controls in relation to risk management, fraud prevention and records management as the Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate, and reporting is included in the relevant section of the Directorate's Annual Report. This model also applies in relation to the provision of payroll services through Shared Services.
Responses to three requests received by the ACT Executive under the Freedom of Information Act 1989 are available on the Open Government website. The majority of documents were released for each request.
The Executive's legal services are provided by the ACT Government Solicitor's Office, which review any issues to ensure compliance with the Model Litigant Guidelines.
