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. Equity injections were reduced as a result of the repeal of Appropriation Act (No. 4) 2013-14 in March 2018.

  2. Opening balances carried forward for retained earnings and total equity reflect the budget being prepared before 2016-17 actual results were known.

  3. Total comprehensive income (net deficit) - the budget was estimated to be cost neutral for 2017-18 however a loss was incurred. The main component for the deficit resulted from non-cash adjustments to leave entitlement provisions as a result of changes in parameters and valuations.
