[1]        A prescribed agency is an agency established by regulation under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997. It provides financial management authority to, and required accountability by, the Chief Executive of an agency. An agency can be prescribed but not be an independent entity under the Public Service Act 1999. This is the case for the DMO, which is prescribed and so independent under the FMA Act but is part of the Department of Defence for the purposes of the Public Service Act 1999, Defence Materiel Organisation Annual Report, 2005–2006, p. 186.
