- Financial control: not included (no open figures)

Quartiles within the group, not a ranking. Parts without figures are left out and the weights spread over the rest.
Efficiency and quality 2024
In the group «the Storting's bodies» (7 agencies) the agency falls in the box «Well governed, high use of resources».
Efficiency (use of resources)
- Operating cost per full-time equivalent: not included (no open figures)
- Growth in cost per full-time equivalent, 3 years: not included (no open figures)
- Consultancy share of operating cost: 17 of 100 · 9.4%
Quality of governance
- Financial control (budget deviation): not included (no open figures)
- Stability of the budget deviation, 3 years: not included (no open figures)
- Audit: 100 of 100 · not named among the accounts with material errors
- Competition in procurement: not included (no open figures)
The placement is a quartile in the group, not a score or a rank. A low use of resources can reflect different tasks or underfunding, and quality here means quality of governance, not quality of service. Parts without figures are left out.
Not measured: quality of service and user satisfaction, cost per output, and staff turnover.

Salary costs, 2025
Two of the key figures DFØ asks agencies to report, computed the same way for all from the state accounts and SSB full-time equivalents. Against the median for agencies of the same type (7 agencies). Operating expenditure per full-time equivalent and the consultancy share are under efficiency.
- Salary per full-time equivalent: –
- Salary share of operating expenditure: 55.8% (median 67.8%)
Source: DFØ (state accounts, NLOD) and Statistics Norway (SSB), table 12627 (CC BY 4.0). Salary is account class 5 in the state accounts (payroll costs, which may also include employer’s contributions and pensions). A high salary per full-time equivalent can be the task, not waste: the figures are context and do not count in the index.

Source: the Storting (data.stortinget.no, NLOD). Not counted in the index: much attention in the Storting is not bad, and little is not good. Questions are linked to the ministry by the minister's title, and to other agencies only when the name is in the title. We do not show who asked or answered.
What we do not measure
We do not assess policy, goal attainment, the quality of services or individual cases. We look only at what can be measured in open data and what the agency itself controls: financial control, audit and procurement. Sick leave per agency is not openly available and is therefore left out.
