Under its statute, ICSC is mandated to manage the system and calculate post adjustment indices.  In this exercise, a subsidiary body - the Advisory Committee on Post Adjustment Questions (ACPAQ) advises ICSC on technical aspects of cost of living measurements, including statistical methodology.  The ICSC secretariat is responsible for the day-to-day management of the system.

 

At the local level, post adjustment matters are coordinated by the lead agency - generally the agency with the greatest number of staff in the location.  The lead agency liaises with ICSC and coordinates surveys and other data collection activities required for the calculation of the post adjustment index.
