When should a department include an acquired service in their investment plan?
All acquired services must be accounted for in a department’s investment planning process. However, many acquired services have only a minor impact for there to be value in highlighting them individually within the investment plan. Collectively though, they may provide insight into a departments expenditures. In these cases, the acquired services can be grouped together as a category and represented as such within the investment plan. In many cases a department’s decision on whether to highlight an acquired service will require judgement by the department, in consultation with the TBS program analyst. Decisions regarding which services to highlight can vary between departments, as long as the decision can withstand external scrutiny.
