Additional estimates and variations to outcomes
Measures
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has no additional measures since the 2000-01 Portfolio Budget Statements.
Other variations to appropriations
As part of the Mid‑Year Economic Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) and Additional Estimates processes, the ABS undertook a comprehensive review of its budget estimates with the aim of refining these estimates. This process has resulted in an increase in Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2000-01 of $0.813 million. This is due to an increase in revised parameters of $0.819 million and a reduction in interest revenue earned from devolved banking arrangements of $0.006 million.

Notes to the financial statements
Basis of accounting
The agency budget statements are prepared in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards, Accounting Guidance Releases and having regard to Statements of Accounting Concepts.
As part of the Mid‑Year Economic Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) and Additional Estimates process, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) undertook a comprehensive review of its budget estimates with the aim of refining these estimates. 
Changes to Appropriation Estimates since the 2000-01 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) relate to adjustments for the revised parameters and the interest revenue earned from devolved banking arrangements.
Revisions to component items are based upon the 1999-2000 audited financial statements and revised budget data used in developing the accrual budgets.
