BIS Performance Indicators
The BIS Business Plan sets out a number of input and impact indicators. These indicators have been chosen to help the public to judge whether our policies and reforms are having the effect they want. The indicators are split into 'input' indicators which relate to how public money is spent and the 'impact' indicators which relate to the results that BIS is trying to achieve.
