Assessment criteria for six-monthly reporting
6-month reports are assessed using four criteria:
Quality
We will assess whether:
-
The activity was delivered as per the agreed programme and budget submitted in November. Variations are acceptable only if approved in advance by CNZ staff or as a result of Covid-19 impacts. Please provide commentary if this has been the case.
-
Activities were evaluated and met or exceeded your quality measures.
-
Activity statistics (e.g. the number of new works, events, participation and audience figures) were within 10% of projections or higher.

We will assess:
-
For all organisations:
-
How your organisation is delivering to its contractual requirements (e.g., Outcome Features, Development Goals if applcable).
-
How your organisations delivered to Creative New Zealand's commitment to diversity as expressed in our Diversity in the Arts Policy.
-
For non-Māori organisations: How your organisation supported the role of Māori as tangata whenua.

Financial health
We will assess whether:
- Your organisation’s projections are comparable and realistic, and its financial position and financial performance is not declining.
- Your organisation is solvent and a going concern (e.g. you are able to pay your debts as they become due in the normal course of business, and you can expect to continue trading)
- Your organisation can pay its bills and people in the short term (working capital viability).
- Your organisation has a healthy net equity surplus (total assets less total liabilities) and its financial performance is not significantly impairing the net equity position.
- Has demonstrated sound financial management and planning.
TEOs and their subsidiaries, council-controlled organisations, and organisations receiving less than $75,000 per annum are exempt from this requirement.

The overall structure of your organisation is "fit for purpose" and enables delivery of programme/services and achievement of its purpose and objectives.
-
Your staff have the skills and experience to deliver their roles well.
-

-
Your organisation is well-governed (if it is a trust). We will look at whether the submitted board minutes:

-

TEOs and their subsidiaries, council-controlled organisations, and organisations receiving less than $75,000 per annum are exempt from this requirement.
