Government Financial Performance Benchmarking and the Citizens’ Wealth Framework – Why Care?
- Why JI-Analytics?
- World’s best: JI-Analytics is the world’s best government financial performance benchmarking firm.
- High value-add analytics: JI-Analytics creates the world’s best high value-add financial performance analytics on sovereign and regional governments for both single government historical benchmarking and peer government benchmarking.
- US$250 million investment: Since 2012, JI-Analytics has invested in the Citizens’ Wealth Framework (CW Framework) intellectual property over US$250 million, with the work of approximately 300 of the smartest experts across twenty-one (21) professional sectors and built on continuously updated analytics of decades of information from eleven (11) informational silos to discover previously hidden intelligence.
- 7 Workstreams: JI-Analytics executes its mission through 7 integrated workstreams — including (1) Framework Building, (2) Major Decisions, (3) New Discoveries, (4) Government Education, (5) Stakeholder Education, (6) HVAs Benchmarking, and (7) Peer Benchmarking — that systematically enhance government financial performance and maximize Social Return on Investment (SROI).
- Why understanding the Government Total Balance Sheet and the CW Framework 12 KPIs is essential?
- GTBS & GTNW: The Government Total Balance Sheet (GTBS) can provide unparalleled insights into a government’s financial position at a point in time and its financial performance change over time, and Government Total Net Worth (GTNW) provides the result of decisions from a financial perspective.
- Consequences: Government financial decisions directly affect the probability and consequences of debt, currency, and financial crises, which have a disproportionally large impact on society’s most financially vulnerable.
- Improving: To improve financial security and financial prosperity, decision-makers should understand both the GTBS and the CW Framework 12 KPIs financial track record, financial performance versus peers and benchmarks, and short-term financial projections.
- Why is the CW Framework and its 12 KPIs a better framework?
- CWF: The Citizens’ Wealth Framework (CW Framework) is both “a quantum leap in government financial performance management” and “the greatest advance in sovereign risk analysis”.
- Comparison: The CW Framework includes real-time Government Total Balance Sheet (GTBS) intelligence for decision-making. The CW Framework represents a quantifiable improvement over financial debt and cash deficit framework, and especially the focus on a single debt number that is only one of four parts of the GTBS.
- Systemic Misconceptions: The CW Framework identifies and corrects systemic misconceptions, and reveals previously hidden insights, resulting in improved government financial position and performance.
- Incorrect numbers: JI-Analytics has discovered that it is not uncommon for numbers from widely used official statistics to incorrectly overstate or understate true and fair GTBS numbers by 50+ percentage points of GDP.
- Performance Gaps: JI-Analytics quantifies the performance gap between a government and its benchmarks on the CW Framework 12 KPIs.
