<p>The effectiveness of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) is robustly assessed routinely. UKTl uses an independent monitoring survey (the Performance and Impact Monitoring Survey, PIMS) to measure the performance and impact of its support. Full results of these surveys, and detailed discussions of the methodology, including the questions used to derive the measures, are published on the UKTI website at:</p><p>http://www.ukti.gov.uk/uktihome/aboutukti/ourperformance/performanceimpactandmonitoringsurvey.html</p><p>In addition to the programme of monitoring surveys, UKTI also commissions an annual programme of independent evaluations of the economic impact and rationale for specific services. More information on these can be found on the UKTI website:</p><p>http://www.ukti.gov.uk/uktihome/aboutukti/ourperformance/evaluation.html</p>
