These teams review regulatory systems to evaluate their effectiveness, efficiency, and impact. By systematically examining regulations, they identify areas for improvement.

Regulatory reviews are focused and time-bound opportunities to assess parts of New Zealand’s existing stock of regulation. They may look at one specific regulatory system or at the overlap of several different regulatory systems.

This team focuses on supporting regulators to adopt good practice, and improving the capability of people who design, operate, and govern regulatory systems.

They achieve this through:

• Releasing expectations and guidance about good regulatory practice, including leadership and governance

• Analysing the New Zealand regulatory sector and its workforce

• Promoting opportunities for regulators in New Zealand to collaborate with, and learn from, regulators overseas
