Performance by Business Line

Strategic Planning and Reporting Framework

The strategic framework is based on the strategic outcome, which governs the priorities we pursue, and the investments we make to support those priorities. Linked to this strategic outcome are the expected outcomes and expected results for each of our business lines. The expected outcomes describe the impact that each business line has on Canadians. The expected results are what the CRA expects to achieve, and represent the criteria against which our performance will be assessed and reported.
