Section 3: Explanatory tables and budgeted financial statements

Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of the departments’ finances for the budget year 2008-09. It explains how budget plans are incorporated into the financial statements and provides further details of movements in administered funds, special accounts and government indigenous expenditure.

3.1     Explanatory tables

3.1.1    Reconciliation of total available appropriation and outcomes

The Resource Statement (Table 1.1) details the total available appropriation available to the department from all sources. For departmental operating appropriations (outputs) this includes carry-forward amounts as well as amounts appropriated at Budget.  As the department incurs and is funded for future liabilities, generally depreciation and employee entitlements, the total amount of operating appropriation available to the department is unlikely to be fully utilised in the Budget year. The Resource Statement includes detail of the expected use of available resources in contributing towards the outcome in the Budget year.  Table 3.1.1 reconciles the total available appropriation and amounts attributable to all outcomes.
