USER GUIDE

Introduction

The purpose of the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements, is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament and the public of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the portfolio. However, unlike the Portfolio Budget Statements, the PAES summarise only the changes in resourcing by outcome since the Budget, that is, they do not include a complete resourcing table for the agency. The PAES include new Measures, summarise the changes by Appropriation Bill, and, where relevant, by Special Appropriation and Special Account. The 2007–08 PAES also cover any significant changes to the portfolio which may have arisen from the Administrative Arrangements Order (AAO) which was released on 3 December 2007 and subsequently revised on 25 January 2008, following the change in government.

The PAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (No. 3 and No. 4) 2007–08. In this sense the PAES is declared by the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills to be a ‘relevant document’ to the interpretation of the Bills according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Whereas the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2007–08 is a mid-year budget report which provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government’s fiscal performance against its fiscal strategy, the PAES update the most recent budget appropriations for agencies within the portfolio.

Overview

Significant changes to the portfolio arose from the AAO, which was released on 3 December 2007 and subsequently revised on 25 January 2008.

Under the AAO, two agencies have joined FaHCSIA’s portfolio from the former Employment and Workplace Relations portfolio: IBA and EOWA. The Australian Institute of Family Studies and responsibility for Family Impact Statements have transferred to the portfolio of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

FaHCSIA is gaining the following programs: Disability Support Pension and Community Development and Employment Projects. Disability Support Pension will be an addition to Output Group 2.2—Support for people with disabilities. Community Development and Employment Projects will form part of Output Group 1.2—Services for Indigenous Australians.

Most of FaHCSIA’s programs and functions relating to early childhood policy and child care policy and programs have transferred to the new portfolio of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. This includes the whole of Output Group 3.3— Child Care Support as well as other functions across Outcome 3.

The majority of youth programs and policy functions, including income support policies and programs, but with the exception of the Reconnect and Newly Arrived Youth Support Services programs, have transferred to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. These functions have transferred out of Output Group 2.4—Support for Youth.

The youth programs and functions that will be transferring include the Source website, the Transition to Independent Living Allowance, Mentor Marketplace, the National Youth Affairs Research Program, the National Youth Roundtable, the Ship for World Youth Program, YouthLinx and the Youth Bureau.

Estimates of expenses from special appropriationsRevisions to estimated expenditure in 2007–08 for special appropriations are detailed in Table 1.9 and show an increase of $4.68 billion since the 2007–08 Budget. The variation is largely due to the transfers as a result of the Administrative Arrangements Order —Disability Support Pension ($5.21 billion) (to FaHCSIA) and Child Care Benefit ($605.2 million) (to DEEWR). Other variations include a reduction in Family Tax Benefit ($416.9 million) and Age Pension ($82.2 million), partly offset by increases in Utilities Allowance ($459.4 million) and Seniors Concession Allowance ($33.4 million).

Overview

Revisions to the budgeted departmental financial statements and notes showing administered financial statements for the department since the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements are presented in this section.

Analysis of budgeted financial statements

An analysis of the revisions to FaHCSIA’s budgeted financial statements for 2007–08 is provided below.

OPERATING RESULTS

Departmental

Operating revenueTotal operating revenue for 2007–08 is estimated at $1.456 billion, consisting of government appropriations of $1.426 billion and revenue from other independent sources of $29.2 million and representing an increase of $188.0 million over the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements.

The reason for the variation is increased funding of $188.0 million to implement new measures and variations to existing measures.

Operating expensesTotal expenses are estimated to be $1.455 billion, representing an increase of $189.0 million over the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements. This includes the following major variations:

An increase of $80.5 million in payments to suppliers•

An increase of $19.5 million in Employees expenses•

An increase of $74.6 million in payments to Centrelink for delivery of services. •

Administered

Operating revenueFaHCSIA will administer the collection of non-taxation revenue estimated at $191.4 million compared with the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements of $150.3 million.

The major reason for the change is an increase in estimated revenues from non taxation sources.

56

Balance Sheet

Departmental

Net asset positionThe department’s revised net asset position for 2007–08 is estimated to increase by $71.6 million to $215.5 million.

The major reason for the change is an increase in receivables of $12.7 million and an increase of $71.1 million in non-financial assets: partly offset by an increase in liabilities of $16.7 million.

Total assetsThe department’s total assets are forecast to increase by $88.3 million, compared with the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements, to $328.3 million.

This increase is primarily due to an increase in receivables of $12.7 million and an increase in Non-Financial assets of $71.1 million.

Total liabilitiesThe department’s total liabilities are estimated to increase by $16.7 million, compared with the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements, to $112.8 million. This increase is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable to suppliers of $11.1 million and a increase in Provisions of $6.1 million.

Administered

Total assets Total administered assets are forecast to decrease by $788.4 million, compared with the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements, to $3.5 billion.

This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in receivables of $888.1 million.

Total liabilitiesTotal administered liabilities are forecast to decrease by $361.9 million compared with the 2007–08 Portfolio Budget Statements, to $4.1 billion.

This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in personal benefits payable and personal benefits provision of $283.8 million, partly offset by decrease in Other Payables of $56.7 million.

INDIGENOUS BUSINESS AUSTRALIA

INDIGENOUS BUSINESS AUSTRALIA Section 1: Agency overview and resources; variations and measures

OVERVIEW

Indigenous Business Australia’s (IBA) vision is for a nation in which Indigenous peoples share equitably in commercial and economic outcomes and for IBA to make a significant contribution to that outcome. IBA was established by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Amendment Act 2001, which came into effect on 17 April 2001. IBA extends on the role of the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Commercial Development Corporation (CDC).

IBA was originally created to assist and enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ economic advancement, primarily through facilitating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander equity involvement in sound commercial ventures. Under the enabling legislation, IBA is required to meet this role by accumulating and using a substantial capital asset. The Act specifically requires that IBA engages in commercial activities.

With the passage of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005 in March 2005, IBA’s responsibilities were expanded to include two new programs. These programs provide home loans and business loans together with business development assistance.

The Home Ownership Programme provides concessional loans to low income Indigenous Australians and their families in order that they might purchase or construct a home. The program can also provide loans to assist in essential repairs or improvements.

The Business Development Programme provides concessional business loans and in certain circumstances business grants. The program also meets costs associated with the assessment of loan applications, the provision of aftercare to borrowers and general mentoring support for Indigenous people in business. The program also supports the cost of research to improve knowledge on regional economic circumstances which would impact on small business viability.

The Home Ownership on Indigenous Land Programme provides subsidised loan and grant packages secured by a mortgage over a long-term lease.

IBA's newly formed construction and facility management capability will deliver essential infrastructure to communities to improve their economic outcomes. The aims of this initiative are to reduce the cost of construction in remote areas, increase Indigenous participation in construction of local houses and to create small business and self-employment opportunities for Indigenous people.

IBA is contributing to the Northern Territory emergency response by assisting in the creation of viable small businesses from CDEP enterprises, providing asset leasing to

76

community organisations to purchase new assets and equipment and managing a trust for existing and new assets, and expanding the Outback Stores initiative to more communities in the Northern Territory to ensure that they have access to stores that provide healthy, reasonably priced food.

Table 1.1: Agency outcomes and output groups lists the Outcome statement and Output Groups for Indigenous Business Australia.

Table 1.1: Agency outcomes and output groups

ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES AND VARIATIONS TO OUTCOMES Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) has had the following additional estimates variations.

GLOSSARYAccrual Accounting System of accounting where items are brought to account

and included in the financial statements as they are earned or incurred, rather than as they are received or paid.

Accumulated Depreciation The aggregate depreciation recorded for a particular depreciating asset.

Administered Items Expenses, revenues, assets or liabilities managed by agencies on behalf of the Commonwealth. Agencies do not control administered items. Administered expenses include grants, subsidies and benefits. In many cases, administered expenses fund the delivery of third party outputs.

Additional Estimates Where amounts appropriated at Budget time are insufficient, Parliament may appropriate more funds to portfolios through the Additional Estimates Acts.

AEIFRS Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards which were issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board in July 2004.

Appropriation An authorisation by Parliament to spend moneys from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for a particular purpose.

Annual Appropriation Acts of Parliament, which provide appropriation for the Government’s activities during a specific financial year. Three Appropriation Bills are introduced into Parliament in May and comprise the Budget. Further supplementary Bills are introduced later in the financial year as part of the Additional Estimates process. The Parliamentary Departments have their own Appropriation Bills.

Appropriation Bill (No. 1) This Bill proposes spending from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the ordinary annual services of Government. Once the Bill is passed by Parliament and given royal assent, it becomes the Appropriation Act (No. 1).

Appropriation Bill (No. 2) This Bill proposes spending from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for purposes other than the ordinary annual services of Government. Under existing arrangements between the two Houses of Parliament (the ‘Compact’), this Bill includes appropriation funding of administered expenses for new outcomes, payments to the states and territories, and for departmental or administered capital. Funding for extensions to existing programs can be included in Appropriation Bill (No. 1). Once the Bill is passed by Parliament and given royal assent, it becomes the Appropriation Act (No. 2).

Appropriation Bills (Nos 3 and 4) If an amount provided in Appropriation Acts (No. 1 or 2) is not enough to meet approved expenditure to be paid in a financial year, supplementary appropriation may be sought in Appropriation Bills (No. 3 or 4). Once these Bills are passed by Parliament and given royal assent, they become the Appropriation Acts (Nos 3 and 4). However, they are also commonly referred to as the Additional Estimates Bills.

Assets Future economic benefits controlled by an entity as a result of past transactions or other past events.

96

Average Staffing Level (ASL) ASL is the average number of employees receiving salary/wages (or compensation in lieu of salary/wages) over a financial year, with adjustments for casual and part-time employees to show the full-time equivalent.

Capital expenditure Expenditure by an agency on capital projects, for example purchasing a building.

Consolidated Revenue Fund Section 81 of the Constitution stipulates that all revenue raised or money received by the Commonwealth forms the one consolidated revenue fund (CRF). The CRF is not a bank account. The Official Public Account reflects most of the operations of the CRF.

Cross Portfolio Budget Measure A Budget measure, which affects programs administered in a number of portfolios.

Departmental Items Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are controlled by the agency to produce outputs. Departmental items would generally include computers, plant and equipment assets used by agencies in providing goods and services and most employee expenses, supplier costs and other administrative expenses incurred.

Depreciation Apportionment of an asset’s capital value as an expense over its estimated useful life to take account of normal usage, obsolescence, or the passage of time.

Effectiveness Indicators Indicators to assess the degree of success in achieving outcomes. As outcomes are generally long-term in nature, effectiveness indicators often relate to intermediate outcomes (shorter-term impacts) below the planned outcomes specified.

Efficiency Indicators Measures the adequacy of an agency’s management of its outputs (and where applicable, administered items). Includes Price, Quality and Quantity indicators. The interrelationship between the three efficiency indicators of any one output should be considered when judging efficiency.

Equity or Net Assets Residual interest in the assets of an entity after deduction of its liabilities.

Estimates Estimates are an agency’s expected revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. They are prepared for each output in the Budget, in consultation with the Department of Finance and Administration. (See also Forward Estimates and Additional Estimates).

Expenses Expenses represent the full costs of an activity, that is, the total value of all the resources consumed in producing goods and services or the loss of future economic benefits in the form of reductions in assets or increases in liabilities of the entity. Expenses include cash items such as salary payments as well as expenses that have been incurred, such as accruing employee entitlements that will be paid in the future.

Fair value Valuation methodology: the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Australian Government entities will move to this method incrementally by 30 June 2006 for valuing most infrastructure, plant and equipment.

Financial Management and Accountability (FMA) Act 1997

The principal legislation governing the proper use and management of public money and public property, and other Commonwealth resources. FMA Regulations and FMA Orders are made pursuant to the Act.

Forward Estimates The financial statement estimate for the three outyears after the Budget year.

Grants Non-reciprocal transfers of economic resources, where the payer agency does not receive approximately equal value in return.

Groups See Output Groups.Intermediate Outcomes More specific medium-term impacts (for example, trend

data, targets or milestones) below the level of the planned outcomes specified in the Budget. A combination of several intermediate outcomes can at times be considered as a proxy for determining the achievement of outcomes or progress towards outcomes. (See also Outcomes)

Measure Decision by the Cabinet or Ministers that has been finalised since the 2006–07 Budget, which has a financial impact in the Budget or forward years.

Mid Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO)

The Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook provides an update of the Government’s Budget Estimates by examining expenses and revenues year-to-date, as well as provisions for new decisions that have been taken since the budget. It occurs around the middle of the financial year. Major updates such as the Mid Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, coincide with the availability of revised economic parameters.

Operating result Equals revenue less expenses.Outcomes The Government’s objectives in each portfolio area.

Outcomes are desired results, impacts or consequences for the Australian community as influenced by the actions of the Australian Government. Actual outcomes are assessments of the end results or impacts actually achieved.

Output Groups A logical aggregation of agency outputs, where useful, and based either on homogeneity, type of product, business line or beneficiary target group. Aggregation of outputs may also be needed for the provision of adequate information for performance monitoring, or based on a materiality test.

Outputs The goods and services produced by agencies on behalf of Government for external organisations or individuals. Outputs also include goods and services for other areas of government external to the agency.

Performance Indicators

Qualitative and quantitative measures of an output which provide a guide on performance where direct causal links are not obvious and changes in performance are difficult to measure directly.

Performance Information Evidence about performance that is collected and used systematically. Evidence may relate to appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency. It may be about outcomes, factors that affect outcomes, and what can be done to improve them.

Price One of the three key efficiency indicators. The amount the Government or the community pays for the delivery of agreed outputs.

Quality One of the three key efficiency indicators. Relates to the characteristics by which customers or stakeholders judge an organisation, product or service. Assessment of quality involves use of information gathered from interested parties to identify differences between users’ expectations and experiences.

Quantity One of the three key efficiency indicators. Examples include: the size of an output; count or volume measures; how many or how much.

Receipts The total or gross amount received by the Commonwealth. Each receipt item is either revenue, an offset within outlays, or financing transactions. Receipts include taxes, interest, charges for goods and services, borrowings and Government Business Enterprise dividends received.

Revenue Total value of resources earned or received to cover the production of goods and services.

Senate Legislation Committee The Senate Legislation Committee is a body of Senators that examines the use of Government funding. Its purpose is to question Government officials about the estimates and activities of their respective agencies.

Special Account Balances existing within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) that are supported by standing appropriations (Financial Management and Accountability (FMA) Act 1997, ss.20 and 21). Special Accounts allow money in the CRF to be acknowledged as set aside (hypothecated) for a particular purpose. Amounts credited to a Special Account may only be spent for the purposes of the Special Account. Special Accounts can only be established by a written determination of the Finance Minister (s.20 FMA Act) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in s.21 of the FMA Act).

Special Appropriations (including Standing Appropriations)

An amount of money appropriated by a particular Act of Parliament for a specific purpose and number of years. For special appropriations, the authority to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund does not generally cease at the end of the financial year.Standing appropriations are a sub-category consisting of ongoing special appropriations. The amount appropriated will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.

Specific Purpose Payments (SPPs) Commonwealth payments to the states are divided into General Purpose Payments (GPPs) and Specific Purpose Payments (SPPs). The term payments is used because the amounts referred to are gross transfers, not net, which would include repayments of advances to the states and territories. Most SPPs are conditional on policy objectives set by the Commonwealth or the achievement of national policy objectives agreed between the Commonwealth and the states and territories.
