Meyrick provides regulatory and performance measurement advice to Australian regulators and communications firms. We help clients answer the following types of questions:

• What has been the business' recent productivity performance?
• How far is the business from industry best practice?
• Are proposed X factors in CPI X regulation sensible given past and expected feasible productivity gains?
• Which stakeholder groups have been the main beneficiaries of recent productivity improvements?
• What productivity improvements should the business be able to achieve given the performance of similar businesses?
• How should the business performance be adjusted to allow for factors beyond management control to ensure like with like comparisons?
• Is the form of price control proposed appropriate?
• Has the business rate of return on capital been appropriate?
• Have reliability standards been satisfactory? What are the appropriate parameters for a service quality incentive scheme?
• Are access regimes fair and reasonable to both parties?

Director Denis Lawrence is a pioneer of the application of productivity measurement to telecommunications and postal services in Australia. He has worked on communications regulation and performance measurement issues since the early 1990s.
