of Budget Honesty Act 1998 requires that the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook be based on external reporting standards and that departures from applicable external reporting standards be identified. The financial statements included in this Appendix have been prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS), being the Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AEIFRS) and AAS 31 Financial Reporting by Governments (AAS 31). AAS requires governments to prepare accrual based general purpose financial reports. This means that assets, liabilities, income and expenses are recorded in financial statements when transactions have an economic impact on the government, rather than when the cash flow associated with these transactions occurs. Consistent with AAS, an income statement, a balance sheet, a statement of changes in equity, and a cash flow statement have been prepared for the budget year and the three forward years. The accounting policies in this Appendix are generally consistent with the accounting policies in AAS. While the scope for financial reporting recommended in AAS 31 is the whole of government (that is, the Australian Government public sector), in accordance with the Charter of Budget Honesty Act 1998, the presentation covers the general government sector only. This Appendix includes notes showing disaggregated information. AAS would suggest the gross amount of goods and services tax (GST) be included in the Australian Government’s financial statements. However, under the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Reform of Commonwealth-State Financial Relations, GST is collected by the Australian Taxation Office as an agent for the States and Territories (the States), and appropriated to the States. Therefore, GST cash flows and any accrued GST revenues and associated payments to the States are not recorded in the financial statements. The new AEIFRS standard relating to superannuation is AASB 119 Employee Benefits. The standard requires the government bond rate at balance date to be referenced when valuing the superannuation liability, with the relevant bond yield to match the term of the liability. However, the longest maturing government bond is only 10 years, significantly shorter than the term of the superannuation liability. Therefore, in applying this standard, a longer term rate of 6 per cent as determined by actuaries is adopted to discount the liability for budget reporting. Guidance has been sought from the Australian Accounting Standards Board to clarify the differing interpretations in applying AASB 119 for outcomes. 225 Appendix C: Australian Accounting Standards financial statements The basis of recognition of the Government’s obligation for education grants, primarily to the States, has changed to when payments are due to be made. The financial effect of this change is recognised in the statement of changes in equity. Further details are contained in Box 2 in Attachment E of Part 4. 226 Appendix C: Australian Accounting Standards financial statements Note 2: Reconciliation of cash Estimates 2007-08 2008-09 $m $m 16,066 20,634 Operating result (revenues less expenses) less Revenues not providing cash Foreign exchange gains Gains from asset sales programme Gains from sale of assets Other Total revenues not providing cash plus Expenses not requiring cash Increase/(decrease) in employee entitlements Depreciation/amortisation expense Provision for bad and doubtful debts Provision for diminution in value of assets Losses from asset sales programme Losses from sale of assets Foreign exchange losses Other Total expenses not requiring cash plus Cash provided by working capital items Decrease in inventories Decrease in receivables Decrease in other financial assets Decrease in other non-financial assets Increase in benefits subsidies and grants payable Increase in suppliers' liabilities Increase in other provisions and payables Total cash provided by working capital items less Cash used by working capital items Increase in inventories Increase in receivables Increase in other financial assets Increase in other non-financial assets Decrease in benefits subsidies and grants payable Decrease in other provisions and payables Decrease in suppliers' liabilities Total cash used by working capital items equals Net cash from/(to) operating activities plus Net cash from/(to) investing activities Net cash from operating activities and investment plus Net cash from/(to) financing activities equals Net (decrease)/increase in cash 227 Projections 2009-10 2010-11 $m $m 24,552 23,517 0 0 52 913 965 0 1,511 16 3,349 4,876 0 0 2 4,128 4,130 0 0 7 4,509 4,516 4,216 5,221 33 471 27 0 0 234 10,201 4,125 5,390 41 382 0 0 0 204 10,142 4,100 5,358 55 384 0 0 0 236 10,133 4,220 5,241 67 400 0 0 0 141 10,069 0 475 0 857 0 0 0 1,194 0 0 0 396 0 0 97 3 248 63 0 1,643 247 89 17 1,547 151 51 186 783 399 59 0 558 366 0 521 0 124 261 187 0 178 515 66 0 183 734 0 0 325 47 0 1,259 53 0 0 626 150 0 0 909 0 682 0 1,600 25,687 -28,215 26,822 -26,752 30,430 -29,710 28,029 -20,505 -2,529 70 720 7,524 2,416 22 -837 -7,122 -112 92 -117 402 Appendix C: Australian Accounting Standards financial statements Note 2(a): Consolidated Revenue Fund The estimated and projected cash balances reflected in the balance sheet for the Australian Government general government sector (Table C2) include the reported cash balances controlled and administered by Australian Government agencies subject to the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 and the reported cash balances controlled and administered by entities, subject to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act), that implement public policy through the provision of primarily non-market services. Revenues or monies raised by the Executive Government automatically form part of the Consolidated Revenue Fund by force of section 81 of the Australian Constitution. For practical purposes, total Australian Government general government sector cash, less cash controlled and administered by CAC Act entities, plus special public monies represents the Consolidated Revenue Fund referred to in section 81 of the Australian Constitution. On this basis, the balance of the Consolidated Revenue Fund is shown below.
