Step 3: Assess the IA

At Step 3, agencies assess the quality of their IA and confirm that the analysis is sufficient to inform a decision by government.

The Self-Assessment Tool assists agencies to consider whether the IA provides robust and proportionate analysis across the 7 IA questions. The final IA needs to have addressed all 7 IA questions.

For any key decision, the agency must also produce a statement of sufficiency, signed by a senior public servant confirming that the IA addresses the 7 IA questions, including providing a robust analysis and estimate of the regulatory burden.
