Accounting Policy

Equity Injections Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year (less any formal reductions) and Departmental Capital Budgets (DCBs) are recognised directly in contributed equity in that year.

Budget Variances Commentary

Statement of Changes in Equity for not-for-profit Reporting Entities Variances are considered to be 'major' when the difference is greater than 10% or more than $50,000 or a lesser amount if pertinent to the understanding of the financial statements.

  1. Opening balances carried forward for retained earnings and total equity reflect the budget being prepared before 2015-16 actual results were known.
  2. Total comprehensive income (net deficit) - the budget was estimated to be cost neutral for 2016-17 however a loss was incurred. The main component for the deficit resulted from a misunderstanding of shared services charges whereby additional costs of $60k over our estimation were not advised to ASEA until late June 2017. The remainder of the variance is made up of $27k for completion of services ahead of schedule, employee costs and provisions, and $20k relating to depreciation.
