Section 3: Explanatory tables and budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive snapshot of agency finances for the 2008‑09 budget year. It explains how budget plans are incorporated into the financial statements and provides further details of movements in administered funds, special accounts and government Indigenous expenditure.
3.1 Explanatory tables
3.1.1 Reconciliation of total available appropriation and outcomes
The Agency Resource Statement (Table 1.1) details the total available appropriation to the Commission from all sources. For departmental operating appropriations (outputs) this includes carry‑forward amounts as well as amounts appropriated at Budget. As agencies incur and are funded for future liabilities, generally depreciation and employee entitlements, the total amount of departmental operating appropriation available to the Commission is unlikely to be fully utilised in the Budget year. The difference between the agency resource statements and the sum of all payments made at the departmental outputs level is the expected carry‑forward amount of resources for the 2009‑10 budget year, including amounts related to meeting future obligations to maintain the Commission's asset base and to meet employee entitlement liabilities.

3.1.3 Special accounts
Special accounts provide a means to set aside and record amounts used for specified purposes. Special accounts can be created by a Finance Minister's Determination under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) or under separate enabling legislation. Table 3.1.3 shows the expected additions (receipts) and reductions (payments) for each account used by the Commission.

3.2 Budgeted financial statements
3.2.1 Differences in agency resourcing and financial statements
There are no material differences between the resource information presented in the Budget Papers and Portfolio Budget Statements as a result of differences between Australian Accounting Standards and Government Finance Statistics.
3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statements
The Commission normally receives a relatively steady level of annual funding and its workload and expenses vary over a five year cycle.
