The research report reviews both the Australian and international literatures for service performance reporting for not-for-profits (NFPs).

Under the Australian reporting framework, disclosure of service performance information is mostly unregulated for private NFPs. Due to a general lack of emphasis on non-financial information in both national and state legislations, the information being reported by NFPs is insufficient to meet users’ need.

This report also suggests that the introduction of a tiered service performance reporting framework could assist in alleviating operational and cost pressures on smaller NFPs.

Findings in this report support the AASB’s project aimed at determining whether the IASB's Practice Statement 1: Management Commentary currently being updated by the IASB can be adequately adapted to become a mandatory standard in Australia.
