OVERVIEW AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION

The overview and strategic direction for the Department of Defence remain as reported in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2008-09.

OVERVIEW OF THE 2008-09 ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES

As part of the 2008-09 Budget, the Government provided $13.4b in new funding to Defence over a 10 year period. This included additional funding for Defence operations in Iraq, East Timor and Afghanistan in the forward estimates period and the continuation of the Government’s commitment to the three per cent per annum real growth in funding to Defence through to 2017-18. Defence’s supplementation for price indexation and the newly established Savings and Efficiency Program funded all other budget measures and the 2008-09 costs of operations.

Significant changes since the 2008-09 Budget Defence’s funding across 10 years has increased by $8.1b since the 2008-09 Budget. The major contributor to this is an increase of $7,963.2m for a range of budget adjustments, including $12,309.0m for movements in foreign exchange and a reduction of $4,286.9m for movements in price.

In addition there are five measures which affect Defence funding:

• $3.0m for Australia’s contribution to the United Kingdom-led initiative to augment helicopter capability in Afghanistan

• $92.3m for the net additional cost of extending Operation Catalyst until 30 June 2009 • $15.5m for infrastructure upgrades in the Middle East • $0.2m for implementation of Operation Sunlight • a reduction of $5.1m for a reduced Austr alian Defence Force (ADF) presence in East Timor.

Variations in Defence funding over 10 years are shown in Table 1.1.1 below and further details are provided in Chapter Two – Resourcing.

Chapter Two - Resourcing

DEFENCE RESOURCING

Departmental funding (serial 10 of Table 1.2.1 overleaf) is the most common way of presenting the Defence budget. The total level of departmental funding in 2008-09 has increased by $337.6m to $23,027.9m compared with $22,690.3m in the 2008-09 Budget. The revised total Defence funding is comprised of:

• an appropriation for departmental outputs ($20.2b)

• an equity injection ($1.8b)

• drawdown of appropriations carried forward from previous years ($114.7m)

• net capital receipts ($65.7m)

• own source revenue ($811.2m).

The net increase in funding is made up of:

• an increase of $278.6m in departmental appropriations resulting from

o an increase of $105.8m associated with departmental budget measures (refer Serial 3 of Table 1.1.1)

o an increase of $172.8m for other budget adjustments (refer serial 4 of Table 1.1.1)

• an increase of $59.7m in the drawdown of appropriations carried forward (refer Serial 5 of Table 1.2.1) related mainly to using cash to meet the liability for the effect of a stronger Australian dollar on foreign exchange rates in 2007-08

• a decrease of $0.7m in own source revenue (refer Serial 8 in Table 1.2.1).

The 2008-09 revised estimate for total Defence funding of $23,027.9m is 1.5 per cent more than the estimate made in the 2008-09 Budget.

The ASPI produces independent analysis of defence and security issues relevant to Australia to support government decision-making in strategic and defence issues. The cost of this measure will be met from within the existing resourcing of Defence.

19


AFGHANISTAN – HELICOPTER CAPABILITY

The Government will provide $3.0 million in 2008-09 as Australia’s contribution to the United Kingdom-led initiative to augment helicopter capability in Afghanistan. The contribution gives effect to a commitment made at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) summit held in Bucharest in April 2008. The contribution will fund advanced pilot training and technical upgrades to enable more NATO helicopters to be deployed to Afghanistan in support of International Security Assistance Force operations.

ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES EQUIPMENT

The Government will provide $76.2m (including capital funding of $67.2m) over two years from 2008-09 for electronic countermeasures equipment. This equipment is for the protection of Australian Defence Force personnel, including in Afghanistan and Iraq. The equipment will provide an enhanced level of protection against improvised explosive devices. The cost of this measure will be met from within the existing resourcing of Defence.

IRAQ – CONTRIBUTION TO INTERNATIONAL STABILISATION ACTIVITIES

The Government will provide $92.3m in 2008-09 (including $4.5m for capital) for the net additional costs of extending Operation CATALYST until 30 June 2009. The operation is Australia’s military contribution to stabilisation and reconstruction activities in Iraq.

OPERATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST – COMMAND AND CONTROL ENHANCEMENT

In 2007-08, Defence initiated a study to scope options for improving the delivery of robust operational support measures to deployed forces in the Middle East. The Government will provide $17.2m, being $1.7m for the scoping study and $15.5m for the phased delivery of enhanced infrastructure and consolidation of resources. The cost of the scoping study will be met from within Defence resources.

IMPLEMENTATION OF OPERATION SUNLIGHT

The Government will provide $0.2m in 2008-09 for implementation of Operation Sunlight to improve budget transparency.

EAST TIMOR – REDUCED AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE PRESENCE

The Government has decided that the Australian Defence Force presence in East Timor will be reduced from approximately 750 to 650 personnel by early 2009, reflecting improvements in the country’s security situation. This reduction is expected to lead to a saving of $5.1m in 2008-09 in respect of allowances and logistics support costs.

20


Other budget adjustments In addition to the above measures, the following adjustments will be made to Defence’s Departmental estimates.

Price and foreign exchange convert the other budget adjustments into 2008-09 MYEFO outturned prices. 3. The $514m reprogrammed from 2008-09 under the Approved Major Capital Investment Program includes $50m of cost

savings which will be harvested for use in 2014-15 ($56m outturned – refer Table 1.1.1). 4. The bring-forward of $155m for operations from 2012-13 ($166m outturned – refer Table 1.1.1), which was reprogrammed

as part of the 2007-08 underspend, has been returned to Government and has a zero impact on 2008-09.

UPDATE OF PRICE INDEXATION

The Defence budget is price updated at each budget milestone to reflect movements in the non–farm Gross Domestic Product (GDP) deflator. As a result, funding to Defence for price movements has been decreased by $18.2m in 2008-09, as part of an additional reduction of $746.1m over the forward estimate years.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MOVEMENTS

Under the ‘no-win-no-loss’ arrangements, Defence is required to return to the Government any surplus foreign exchange supplementation for an appreciation of the Australian dollar relative to other currencies. Conversely, where the Australian dollar depreciates relative to other currencies, Defence is supplemented under these arrangements. Defence will receive $582.7m in 2008-09, having taken into account movements in exchange rates since the 2008-09 Budget. Over the current year and forward estimates a total of $4,453.3m will be provided.

REPROGRAMMING OF THE ENHANCED LAND FORCE (ELF) Following an analysis of the start-up rate for ELF, $207.8m has been reprogrammed from 2008-09 into later years. This was the result of it not being possible to invest in facilities development as quickly as originally planned.

21


REPROGRAMMING OF THE APPROVED MAJOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM

Following a comprehensive program review of 230 major projects, an amount of $514.0m has been reprogrammed from 2008-09. This is predominantly due to unanticipated contractor delays and revised estimates for Foreign Military Sales. Of this amount, $50m is cost savings which will be harvested for investment in 2014-15 ($56m outturned).

REPROGRAMMING OF AN INTELLIGENCE PROJECT

An amount of $6.3m will be reprogrammed beyond the forward estimates.

EFFICIENCY DIVIDEND - ADJUSTMENT

In order to ensure consistency in the methodology of calculating the efficiency dividend, an adjustment was needed to the amounts charged in the 2007-08 Additional Estimates for the increase in the rate of the dividend from one percent per annum to 1.25% for the three years from 2008-09 to 2010-11. The total effect of the adjustment over the three years is to increase the dividend, and hence savings to the Government, by $8.5m.

BRING FORWARD OF 2007-08 REPROGRAMMING

In the 2008-09 Budget, an amount of $679.7m was reprogrammed from 2007-08 to 2012-13 and beyond as a result of an anticipated underspend in 2007-08 by Defence and the Defence Materiel Organisation. An amount of $307.0m (2008-09 Budget outturned prices) will be brought forward from 2013-14 and 2014-15 back to 2008-09 to meet emerging pressures. In addition, an amount of $155m of the reprogramming for operations has been brought forward from 2012-13 ($166m outturned) and returned to Government.

RECONCILIATION OF ‘NO-WIN-NO-LOSS’ 2007-08 OPERATIONS EXPENDITURE

Operations funding is provided to Defence on a ‘no-win-no-loss’ basis and is subject to annual reconciliation by Defence and the Department of Finance and Deregulation. Following the reconciliation of 2007-08 expenditure, Defence will be supplemented $29.4m.

DEFENCE HOME OWNERSHIP ASSISTANCE SCHEME

The Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme Act 2008 does not cover the administration costs of this scheme which were included in the estimates of administered funds when the Scheme was announced as a measure in the 2007-08 Budget. This adjustment transfers the estimated administration costs of the scheme ($1.8m in 2008-09 and $11.2m over the forward estimates) from administered to departmental appropriations.

22

FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES

FUNDING FOR OPERATIONS

The ADF is involved in a number of deployments around the world, including United Nations peacekeeping and regional assistance missions, and border protection and domestic security operations. Defence plans to spend $1,218.9m on the net additional costs of its operational deployments in 2008–09, or $170.1m more than the budget estimate. The revised estimates for all operations are shown in Table 1.2.7. Details of 2008–09 adjustments of $170.2m are as follows:

• operations in Iraq ($133.2m) • operations in Afghanistan ($42.1m) • operations in East Timor (-$5.1m) The major variations compared with the budget are detailed in Table 1.2.7 below.

OPERATIONS IN EAST TIMOR (OPERATION ASTUTE) Operation Astute is the Australian Government’s response to a request from the Government of East Timor to assist in the restoration of stability, security and confidence to their country. The Government has approved a reduced ADF presence in East Timor by early 2009 to 650 personnel, expected to be a saving of $5.1m in 2008-09 for reduced personnel allowances and logistic support costs.

The revised estimate for 2008–09 is $169.1m which is $5.1m less than the 2008–09 Budget.

OPERATIONS IN AFGHANISTAN (OPERATION SLIPPER) Operation Slipper is the ADF’s contribution to the international coalition against terrorism. In 2008-09, Defence plans to spend $26.5m for additional force protection measures and has also carried forward funding of $15.6m from 2007-08 for outstanding rapid acquisitions. Further, Government has also approved $49.7m in 2009-10 for force protection measures.

The revised estimate for 2008–09 is $661.0m which is $42.1m more than the 2008–09 Budget.

OPERATIONS IN IRAQ (OPERATION CATALYST) Operation Catalyst is the ADF’s contribution to Multinational Force efforts to develop a secure and stable environment in Iraq and assist national recovery programs. The Government has extended the ADF deployment to June 2009 and has approved an additional $92.3m in 2008-09 to fund the continuation of the operation. The Government has also approved $17.2m in 2008-09 for a scoping

24


study and delivery of enhanced infrastructure and consolidation of resources. Additionally, $23.9m has been carried forward from 2007-08 for outstanding rapid acquisition of force protection measures and additional equipment purchases.

The revised estimate for 2008–09 is $348.9m which is $133.2m more than the 2008–09 Budget.

OTHER OPERATIONS

There are no changes since the 2008–09 Budget in respect of Operations Resolute, Anode, Deluge and Outreach.

Chapter Four– Capital Investment Program

DEFENCE CAPABILITY PLAN

Since the previous White Paper was released in 2000, more than 197 major projects or phases of projects have been approved with an approximate cost of $47.1b. Further projects will be considered for approval in 2008-09.

The reduction in the Defence Capability Plan of $217.5m does not represent a real decrease in funding for major capital, but rather the progressive transfer of funding for newly approved projects to the DMO and Defence Groups ($222.0m) offset by exchange and other variations of $4.5m. An amount of $86.3m has been transferred to the DMO and a further $45.5m to Defence groups so that further development work and acquisition action can proceed. As part of the Additional Estimates, an amount of $90.2m has been reprogrammed out of 2008-09 to meet programming requirements for the Enhanced Land Force.

Major projects recently approved by the Government Major projects approved since the 2008-09 Budget include:

SECOND PASS APPROVAL

• Capability Assurance Program 1 (AIR 5276 CAP 1)

• C-130J Block Upgrade Project (AIR 5440 Phase 1) - one year of Global Program Arrangements

• Tactical Information Exchange Domain - Data Links (JP 2089 Phase 2A)

• LAND 106 Enhanced Land Force Additional Upgraded M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers.

FIRST PASS APPROVAL

• Overlander Field Vehicles and Trailers (LAND 121 Phase 4)

• Seahawk Capability Assurance Program 1 (AIR 9000 SCAP 1).

THE APPROVED MAJOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM

The Approved Major Capital Investment Program has decreased overall by $98.7m since the 2008-09 Budget to $4,321.2m. This includes a decrease in the DMO element of the program of $99.6m, for the following reasons:

• Reprogramming of $514.0m to future years to meet the expected funding requirements

• A net foreign exchange adjustment of $396.8m

• Transfers between the investment and sustainment budgets of $34.5m

• Transfers of funding to the Approved Major Capital Investment Program for new projects of $52.1m.

An overview of the Top 30 projects in the Approved Major Capital Investment Program can be found in Section Two – Defence Materiel Organisation.

The element of the program not managed by DMO has increased by $0.9m. This is due to funding transferred from the Defence Capability Plan to Defence groups.

36


CAPITAL FACILITIES PROJECTS

The capital facilities program comprises approved and unapproved major and medium projects.

The Major Capital Facilities Program has decreased by $80m to $758m since the 2008-09 Budget. This is due largely to reprogramming the Enhanced Land Force Stage 1 capital facilities project. There are a number of other outstanding budget transfers which will result in a rise in the projected budget outcome against this program once completed.

Approved major capital facilities projects Major capital facilities projects have expenditure over $15m and are subject to Government approval and review by the Joint Statutory Committee on Public Works (PWC). Medium facilities projects have expenditure between $250,000 and $15m. Projects between $5m and $15m are subject to Government approval, but are not reviewed by the PWC. Projects under $5m are approved by departmental delegates. Details of these projects are provided in this section.

Table 1.4.2 and the following descriptions provide details on progress and expenditure since the 2008-09 Budget on major capital facilities projects.

OTHER INVESTMENTS

Other capital purchases have increased by $100.8m to $858.2m since the budget. This is primarily due to increased Repairable Items purchases in support of operations.

CAPITAL RECEIPTS

The Capital Receipts program comprises proceeds from property sales which are returned to the Government in the form of equity and proceeds from the sale of specialist military equipment, commercial vehicles and other plant and equipment items retained by Defence, under the Regulation 5 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997. Details are shown in Table 1.4.6.

Performance information is as reported in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2008-09 except for the following revisions.

Table 1.6.3—2008-09 Force Element Targets

Output Vessel/Aircraft/Unit/Chart Production Number Budget Estimate Revised Estimate

1.2.4 Squirrels 13 4,000 Flying Hours 3,200 Flying Hours[1]

1.2.10 Laser airborne depth sounder aircraft 1 900 Flying Hours 600 Flying Hours[7]

Defence Support: New Military Geographic Information (MGI) products/editions 10 30[8]

Notes 1. The decrease in Squirrel flying hours is due to a reduction in the number of pilot trainees. Navy is actively managing the

number of aircrew trainees in the system following the reduction in demand associated with the cancellation of the Super Seasprite program.

2. Unit Ready Days (URD) are the number of days that a force element is available for tasking, by the Fleet Commander, either outside of major maintenance and within planned readiness requirements or in accordance with contracted availability. The increase in the submarine URD is due to rescheduling of maintenance periods for HMAS Farncomb.

3. The decrease in the URD target for coastal mine hunters is due to the refit for HMAS Huon being brought forward to June 2009.

4. The decrease in the URD target for the auxiliary minesweepers is due to a refit extension for MSA Bandicoot as a result of a defect in the main propulsion shaft.

5. The decrease in the URD target for the heavy landing craft is due to the postponement of a mariner skills evaluation, following major maintenance, for HMAS Balikpapan from December 2008 to February 2009.

6. The decrease in the survey motor launches URD is due to an amendment of the upgrade schedule as a result of availability of the slipway and to take advantage of optimal tides for slipping. HMA Ships Mermaid and Paluma are now entering upgrades in early October 2008 and late November 2008, respectively, rather than late October and early December as originally planned.

7. The decrease in the laser airborne depth sounder aircraft flying hours is due to delays in the sensor upgrade. The aircraft was originally due to return to service in August 2008, but has been delayed because of technical issues from validation testing that identified key system deficiencies.

8. The increase in the target number for the new military geographic information products/editions is due to additional requirements for Border Protection Command.

Chapter Seven – Explanatory Tables and Budgeted Financial Statements

EXPLANATORY TABLES

Reconciliation of total available appropriation The Defence Resource Statement (Table 1.2.2) details the total available appropriation available to an agency from all sources. For departmental appropriations, this includes carry-forward amounts as well as amounts appropriated at Budget and Additional Estimates. As agencies incur and are funded for future liabilities, general depreciation and employee entitlements, the total amount of departmental appropriation available to an agency is unlikely to be fully utilised in the Budget year. Outcome resource statements include details of the expected use of available resources in contributing towards outcomes in the Budget year. The difference between the agency level resource statement and the sum of all outcome resource statements is the expected carry-forward amount of resources for the 2009-10 Budget year, including amounts related to meeting future obligations to maintain the agency’s asset base and to meet employee entitlement liabilities. Table 1.7.1 reconciles the total available.

Special account flows Special accounts provide a means to set aside and record amounts used for specified purposes. Special accounts can be created by a Finance Minister’s Determination under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 or under separate enabling legislation.

Total financial assets are $52.1m lower than projected in the 2008-09 Budget due to:

• A decrease in cash and cash equivalents due to the flow-on effect of the actual opening balance at 1 July 2008 being higher than the projected 2007-08 result on which the original budget estimate was based ($-2.8m)

ANALYSIS OF ADMINISTERED ACTIVITY Administered expenses are those managed by Defence on behalf of the Government. They normally relate to activities governed by eligibility rules and conditions established by the Government or Parliament. Defence has three categories of administered expenses: military superannuation, housing assistance and other. These are described in further detail in Chapter Six – Planned Outcome Performance in output group 1.14.

Revised Administered Income and Expenses Defence is budgeting to receive $777.6m in income for administered items in 2008-09 and plans to have expenses of $2,964.9m. Details are shown in 1.7.13 and an explanation of the financial variations follow.

NOTES TO THE BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – KEY ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Budgeted Financial Statements Overview Budgeted financial statements have been included to show the planned financial performance over the 2008-09 budget year, and each of the following forward years from 2009-10 to 2011-12.

The budgeted income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, capital budget statement, equity schedule and asset movement schedule are provided to show the revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and equity of Defence. These budgeted statements contain estimates prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Government’s financial budgeting and reporting framework.

Budgeted financial estimates are provided for both departmental and administered financial items. Departmental, or controlled, financial items are revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities over which Defence has discretion, responsibility and authority. Departmental financial statements represent the financial performance of Defence in delivering its outputs.

Administered financial estimates include revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities that Defence administers on behalf of the Government, but over which Defence does not have management control.

1.2 Budgeted Departmental Financial Statements and Schedule of Budgeted Administered Activity Note that the term ‘budgeted financial statements’ and ‘statements’ are used interchangeably.

Under the Government’s accrual-based budgeting framework, and consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, transactions that agencies control (departmental transactions) are separately budgeted for and reported, compared to transactions that agencies do not have control over (administered transactions). This ensures that agencies are only held fully accountable for the transactions over which they have control.

• Departmental expenses include employee and supplier expenses and other administrative costs, which are incurred by Defence in providing its goods and services.

• Administered items are revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities that are managed by Defence on behalf of the Government according to set Government directions of which Defence does not have management control. These include military superannuation contributions, payments received from the United Nations and foreign governments, bank interest and dividends paid by Defence Housing Australia.

1.3 Appropriations in the Accrual Budgeting Framework Under the Government’s accrual budgeting framework, separate annual appropriations are provided for:

• departmental output appropriations (representing the Government’s funding for outputs from agencies)

• departmental capital appropriations (representing investments by the Government for either additional equity in or loans to agencies)

• administered expense appropriations (representing estimated administered expenses relating to an existing outcome, a new outcome or a Specific Purpose Payment to the states)

• administered capital appropriations (represent increases in administered equity through funding non-expense administered payments).

110


Special appropriations fund the majority of payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (especially those that are entitlement driven or involve transfers to state and territory governments).

1.4 Basis of Accounting The budgeted statements have been prepared in accordance with:

• Finance Minister’s Orders (FMOs), being the Financial Management and Accountability Orders (Financial Statements for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2007)

• Applicable Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB).

The budgeted income statement and balance sheet have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with the historic cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted (refer to items 1.12 and 1.14), are at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or financial position.

Administered revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows reported in the Schedules of Administered Activity are accounted for on the same basis and using the same policies as for departmental items, except as otherwise stated in Note 1.19.

1.5 Revenue

Revenues from the Australian Government Departmental outputs appropriation for the year are recognised as revenue, except for certain amounts which relate to activities that are reciprocal in nature, in which case revenue is recognised only when it has been earned.

Defence operates on a just in time draw-down basis that has resulted in undrawn appropriations at year end being reflected as a receivable. This receivable is available for draw-down to meet future obligations.

Other Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Revenue is recognised from services at the time the service is provided. Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

1.6 Transactions with the Australian Government

Equity Injection Equity injection represents an additional contribution to Defence by the Australian Government, which is over and above the revenue from the Government for the price of outputs. Equity injections are used to fund capital expenditure and are recognised directly into equity in that period.

Other Distributions to Owners including Return of Capital The Finance Minister’s Orders require that distributions to owners be debited to Contributed Equity, unless in the nature of a dividend.

1.7 Employee Benefits Defence’s workforce comprises two employment components: Australian Public Service (APS, i.e. civilians) and Australian Defence Force (ADF, i.e. military) personnel. Employee benefits for each workforce component are based on the relevant employment agreements and legislation.

Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled.

111


Liabilities for wages and salaries (including non-monetary benefits) and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. Employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting date are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees of Defence is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration, including Defence’s employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination. Where there is a legal obligation to payment of leave within 12 months, even when payment is not expected, the liability is disclosed as current.

The liability for long service leave is determined by reference to the work of the Australian Government Actuary. The estimate of the present value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

The liability for annual leave for APS and ADF employees reflects the value of total annual leave entitlements of all such employees and is recognised at the nominal amount, or discounted to the present value for amounts not expected to be taken or paid within 12 months.

Superannuation on-costs have been added to the provisions for annual leave and long-service leave in respect of both APS and ADF employees.

Separation and Redundancy Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments when Defence has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those affected that the terminations will be carried out.

Superannuation Permanently-appointed APS employees and Defence contribute to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), the PSS Accumulation Plan (PSSAP) and other superannuation schemes held outside the Commonwealth. The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes for the Australian Government. The PSSAP is a defined contribution scheme.

The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. This liability is reported by the Department of Finance and Deregulation as an administered item.

Defence makes employer contributions to the Australian Government at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the department’s employees. Defence accounts for these contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans in accordance with AASB 119.

The Defence Force Retirement and Death Benefits Scheme (DFRDB) and the Military Superannuation and Benefits Scheme (MSBS) are defined benefit superannuation plans for ADF members. Defence accounts for these contributions in the Budgeted Departmental Statements as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans in accordance with AASB 119. The liability for DFRDB and MSBS is recognised in the Budgeted Schedules of Administered Activity.

112


1.8 Leases A distinction is made between finance leases and operating leases. Finance leases effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets. In operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Where a non-current asset is acquired by means of a finance lease, the asset is capitalised and recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of minimum lease payments at the commencement of the lease term. A liability is recognised at the same time for the same amount. Non-current assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated/amortised over the useful life of the asset. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component and the interest expense.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. Any contingent rent components of the lease are recognised as an expense in the period in which the amount of the increase/decrease is applied.

Lease incentives taking the form of ‘free’ leasehold improvements and rent holidays are recognised as liabilities. These liabilities are reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expense and reduction of liability.

1.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents means notes and coins held, as well as any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution. Cash and Cash Equivalents are recognised at the nominal amount.

1.10 Receivables Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debt s. The collectability of receivables is assessed periodically with allowance made for doubtful debts when there is objective evidence that Defence will not be able to collect the debt. No allowance is made for Australian Government, foreign government and employee debts as they are deemed to be collectable unless there is objective evidence to the contrary.

1.11 Acquisition of Assets Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.

Assets acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration are initially recognised as as sets and revenues at their fair value as at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are initially recognised as contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor agency’s accounts immediately prior to the restructuring.

1.12 Property, Plant and Equipment including Land, Buildings and Infrastructure

Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Budgeted Balance Sheet where they meet the capitalisation threshold. The capitalisation thresholds for the classes of assets are detailed in the table below.

113


Table 1.7.17—Capitalisation Threshold for Various Asset Classes Asset Class Capitalisation

Threshold ($) Land 0.01 Buildings 5,000.00 Specialised military equipment (SME) including - SME in use; and 0.01 Repairable items Infrastructure 5,000.00 Heritage and cultural 5,000.00 Intangibles including – 150,000.00 Computer software – Purchased Computer software - Internally generated; and Other intangibles Other plant and equipment (OP&E) 2,000.00

Revaluations Land, buildings, plant and equipment are measured and disclosed at fair value. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying values of assets do not materially differ from the assets fair value as at reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets.

In accordance with the Finance Minister’s Orders, Specialist Military Equipment is carried at cost. Assets Under Construction are also not revalued but are carried at cost. In addition to reviewing expenditures from the point of rollout into service, Assets Under Construction expenditures are now also considered on a whole-of-life basis. They are subject to impairment testing annually and prior to being transferred into use.

Depreciation and Amortisation Non-current assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated/amortised over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

Heritage and cultural assets within Defence have been assessed to have indefinite lives. These heritage and cultural assets are stored, managed, displayed, repaired and restored in ways that will maintain their cultural or heritage value over time.

Depreciation and amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Residual values are re-estimated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued.

Decontamination and Restoration Costs Where a legal or constructive obligation arises on acquisition to restore an asset back to its original condition, the net present value of estimated restoration costs are capitalised and added to the cost of the underlying asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. A corresponding provision is recognised for the restoration obligation costs. When discounting is used, the carrying amount of the provision is adjusted to reflect the unwinding of the discount and this is recognised as a finance expense.

Where a legal or constructive obligation arises as a result of the operations of Defence (i.e. use of the assets) the present value of the costs of restoration is recognised as an expense in the period in which the obligation arises.

Asset Disposals The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds of disposal, less any cost of disposal.

114


Impairment of Non-Current Assets Non-current assets carried at cost or fair value are assessed annually for indications of impairment. Where indications of impairment exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and compared to the asset’s carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is to be shown as an impairment loss expense.

1.13 Inventory Defence's inventory is for its own consumption and it does not ordinarily hold inventory for sale. If sales are made they represent disposal of inventory surplus to requirements and minor fuel sales.

Inventory held for distribution is measured at cost, adjusted where applicable for loss of service potential.

Defence has implemented a policy to identify and provide for potential excess stocks.

Costs incurred in bringing each item of inventory (primarily explosive ordnance and general stores) to its present location and condition that are capable of being allocated on a reasonable basis are assigned to inventory. The costs of inventories are assigned by using the weighted average cost formula.

1.14 Intangibles Defence’s intangibles primarily comprise externally acquired and internally-developed computer software for internal use. Intangibles with gross values greater than $150,000 are capitalised.

Acquired intellectual property may form part of the acquisition of particular tangible assets and in such cases is reflected in the value reported for the relevant non financial asset class within the Budgeted Balance Sheet.

Defence carries intangible assets at cost or, where an active market exists, at fair value less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

The service potential of non-current intangible assets is reviewed annually. If an intangible asset is regarded as being impaired, the asset is written down to reflect its remaining service potential.

Intangibles are amortised on a straight-line basis over their anticipated useful life.

1.15 Investments Investments held on behalf of the Australian Government are included as administered assets and are brought to account at the value of the Australian Government’s share of the net assets of the entity. This is a requirement of the Finance Ministers’ Orders. Administered investments in controlled entities are not consolidated because their consolidation is relevant only at the whole-of-government level.

1.16 Foreign Currency Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate on the date of transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables are translated at the exchange rate current as at the balance date. Exchange gains and losses are brought to account in determining the operating result for the year.

115


1.17 Taxation Defence’s activities are exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax, the goods and services tax (GST), and certain excise and customs duties.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except:

• where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office

• for receivables and payables (which are shown inclusive of GST in the Budgeted Balance Sheet).

1.18 Insurance Defence has insured for key insurable risks, excluding workers compensation, through the Government’s insurable risk managed fund, called ‘Comcover’. Workers compensation is through Comcare.

1.19 Schedules of Budgeted Administered Activity Administered revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows are disclosed in the Schedules of Administered Activity.

Except where otherwise stated below, administered items are accounted for on the same basis and using the same policies as for departmental items, including the application Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB.

Revenue collected by Defence, for use by the Australian Government rather than Defence, is Administered Revenue. Collections are transferred to the Official Public Account maintained by the Department of Finance and Deregulation. Conversely, cash is drawn down from the Official Public Account to make payments under parliamentary appropriations on behalf of the Australian Government. These transfers to and from the Official Public Account are reported as adjustments to the administered cash held by Defence on behalf of the Government and reported as such in the Budgeted Statement of Cash Flows in the Schedule of Administered Activity. Thus the Budgeted Schedules of Administered Activity largely reflect the Australian Government’s transactions, through Defence, with parties outside the Australian Government.

Administered Revenue All administered revenues relate to activities performed by Defence on behalf of the Australian Government. Administered revenues mainly comprise military superannuation contributions, payments received from the United Nations and foreign governments, bank interest and dividends paid by Defence Housing Australia.

Administered Expenses All administered expenses relate to activities performed by Defence on behalf of the Australian Government. Administered expenses mainly comprise unfunded military superannuation benefits, ADF housing subsidies and ADF retention benefits.

Administered Investments Defence reports the Australian Government’s capital investment in Defence Housing Australia. The investment is classified as ‘available for sale’ and is measured at fair value using the net assets valuation approach in accordance with the FMOs. The investment is subject to impairment testing.

Military Retention Benefits Certain categories of ADF personnel who are members of the Military Superannuation and Benefits Scheme and have had 15-years of service receive retention benefits as an incentive for continued service. Retention benefit payments are initially recorded as prepayments and written down over the period of service.

116


Military Superannuation The Defence Force Retirement and Death Benefits Scheme (DFRDB) and the Military Superannuation Benefits Scheme (MSBS) are defined benefit superannuation plans for ADF members. Contributions, benefit payments and the provision for unfunded obligations are reflected in the Budgeted Schedules of Administered Activity.

The DFRDB is a fully unfunded scheme but the MSBS is a partly-funded scheme. MSBS member contributions are paid into the MSBS fund that is controlled by the MSBS Board and are therefore not reflected in the Budgeted Schedules of Administered Activity. The Australian Government on behalf of the MSBS Fund makes funded benefit payments to members of the scheme and the Australian Government is reimbursed by the MSBS fund for these payments.

The Australian Government Actuary estimates the unfunded provisions and expected future cash flows as at 30 June each year. These estimates are reflected in the Budgeted Schedules of Administered Activity. The Australian Government Actuary completes a full review of the unfunded liabilities (a long-term cost report) every three years.
