I, as the accountable authority of the Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business, present the 2018–19 annual performance statements for the department as required under section 39(1)(a) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. In my opinion, these annual performance statements are based on properly maintained records, accurately reflect the performance of the department, and comply with section 39(2) of the Act.
