The Management Board of Cabinet is the committee that decides how the government runs its operations and manages the public service. Under its legislated mandate, the Board reviews and approves ministerial estimates, in conjunction with the annual business plan/allocation process, to be submitted to the Legislature. The Board is also responsible for approving all financial, human resource management and administrative management policies through directives and guidelines.

The Management Board also acts on behalf of the Government as employer on issues between the Government and its employees and their bargaining agents, which includes collective bargaining.
