Section 3 presents explanatory tables and budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of agency finances for the 2011–12 Budget year. It explains how budget plans are incorporated into the financial statements and provides further details of the reconciliation between appropriations and program expenses, movements in administered funds, special accounts and government Indigenous expenditure.
3.1 Explanatory tables
Administered funds can be provided for a specified period, for example under annual Appropriation Acts. Funds not used in the specified period with the agreement of the Finance Minister may be moved to a future year. Table 3.1.1 shows the movement of administered funds approved between years.

3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statements Departmental Income and expenses
FaHCSIA is budgeting for an operating deficit of $50.8 million for 2011-12. This is the result of the revised net cash funding arrangements introduced under Operation Sunlight whereby asset replacement is now funded through a capital appropriation rather than the departmental operating appropriation. After allowing for depreciation expenses the reconciliation table at the bottom of Table 3.2.1 shows that the operating result attributable to FaHCSIA is a balanced operating position.
Total operating revenue for 2011-12 is estimated at $551.2 million, comprising of a net increase in government appropriations of $5.9m to a total of $525.9 million, offset by a decrease in own source revenue of $2.0 million to a total of $25.3 million. The net increase in revenue of $3.9 million is primarily due to funding through Government decisions and measures.
Total expenses for 2011-12 are estimated to be $601.9 million. The net reduction in expenses of $0.3 million is primarily due to the reduction in depreciation and amortisation expenses and the extinguishment of prepayment expenses to Centrelink. This is offset by increases in employee and supplier expenses.
Balance sheet
The Department’s net asset position is expected to decrease by $20.5 million. This is due to the impact of the operating loss of $50.8 million and offset by an increase in contributed equity from the capital appropriations of $30.3 million.
Administered Income and expenses
FaHCSIA will administer the collection of non-taxation revenue estimated at $163.0 million in 2011-12, a decrease of $15.3 million from the 2010-11 estimated revenues. The decrease is due to reduced returns from investments and receipts to special accounts.
FaHCSIA will administer programs totalling $76,381 million in expenses in 2011-12. The increase of $4,371 million principally reflects customer trends, indexation of income support payments and measures.
Balance sheet
Total assets administered on behalf of the Government are expected to increase by $125.5 million to $4,999.2 million. This is primarily due to an increase of $40.6 million in receivables and $95.2 million in investments.
Total liabilities administered on behalf of the Government are expected to increase by $66.5 million to $7,630.9 million which is driven by the increase in the personal benefits payable.

Administered items are revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities which are managed by FaHCSIA on behalf of the Australian Government, according to set government directions. Administered expenses include subsidies, grants and personal benefit payments.
