Business continuity management is an essential component of good public-sector governance. It is part of an entity's overall approach to effective risk management and should be closely aligned to the entity's incident management, emergency response management and IT disaster recovery.

Successful business continuity management requires a commitment from the executive to raising awareness and implementing sound approaches to build resilience. The ANAO published a Better Practice Guide on 4 June 2009 following consultation with Australian Government and private sector entities. The guide provides good references and explores issues within the business continuity environment that have arisen since the previous ANAO publication.’
