3.2.1 Differences in agency resourcing and financial statements
There are no significant differences between the resource information presented in the Budget papers and Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements) as a result of differences between Australian Accounting Standards and Government Finance Statistics. Furthermore, there are no differences that arise because of related entity transactions.
3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statements
An analysis of the primary causes of movements from the financial statements published in the 2011–12 PB Statements is provided below.
Budgeted departmental income statement
This statement provides a picture of the expected financial results for AHL by identifying full accrual expense and revenues, which highlights whether AHL is operating at a sustainable level.
Total revenue
Operating income from Government has increased by $0.2 million in 2011–12 as a result of indexation.
Accommodation charges have increased due to revisions of tariff rates in line with the increase in Centrelink benefits.
Other grants reflect the funding expected to be received from DEEWR through the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program until 30 June 2012. The contract with DEEWR for delivery in seven locations (Darwin, Alice Springs, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour and Hobart) is due to end in June 2012. As a result, there is a marked reduction in total income from 2012–13.
Salaries and employee benefits ― these have been increased by $0.5 million as a result of new hostels at Alice Springs and Port Hedland. Reduction in salary outlays for 2012–13 is due to expiry of Indigenous Youth Mobility Program contract.
Suppliers ― this includes food, materials, services and sundry expenses and the increase is reflective of new hostels.
Depreciation and amortisation ― the higher level of depreciation expenditure flows from completion of fire safety and occupational health and safety works appropriated to AHL as part of capital equity injection.
Grants ― this item represents the community hostels grants of minor capital and operating nature to approved organisations to operate hostels.
The contract with DEEWR for the delivery of services for the participants in the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program in seven locations (Darwin, Alice Springs, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour and Hobart) is due to end in December 2012. As a result, there is a marked reduction in both total income and expenditure from 2012–13.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
This statement shows the financial position of AHL. It helps AHL to track the management of assets and liabilities.
The major variations between estimated actuals for 2010–11 and the budget for 2011–12 in the balance sheet are as follows:
-
investment activity in non-current assets continues to increase in 2011–12 due to capitalisation of the Port Hedland hostel.
-
the cash balance reflects the nature of hostel major maintenance and construction works, as they normally take two to three years to complete. Consequently, actual payments are spread over two financial years. The notable decrease in the cash balance in 2011–12 is due to payment for construction of the Port Hedland hostel.
-
the receivables are fairly stable and include items such as GST refunds due from the Australian Taxation Office and trade debtors.
-
liabilities are expected to remain at similar level for the next three financial years.
Budgeted cash flows, as reflected in the statement of cash flows, provide important information on the extent and nature of cash flows by categorising them into expected cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. The major variations between estimated actuals for 2010–11 and the budget for 2011–12 in the statement of cash flows are as follows:
-
The decrease in total cash in 2011–12 is linked to the payment for the construction of the Port Hedland hostel and the secondary education boarding facility in Wadeye.
-
The trend in payments to suppliers and employees is in line with the comments provided under the expenses category in the income statement.
