An analysis of the Department's budgeted financial statements, as reflected in the Department's budgeted departmental financial statements and administered schedules for 2004-05 is provided below.

Budgeted Departmental Statement of Financial Performance

Total revenue in 2004-05 is estimated to be $320.388m, a net increase of $58.193m from the 2003-04 final budget outcome of $262.195m. This is mainly represented by an increase in revenues from Government of $70.060m.

Revenues from Government will increase in 2004-05 due to increased funding for the following measures:

Great Barrier Reef Coastal Wetlands Protection Programme;
Distinctively Australian Programme;
Urban Environment Initiatives;
Securing Australia's Energy Future;
Protecting Australia's Biodiversity Hotspots;
Great Barrier Reef Structural Adjustment Package - enhancement;
Australian Water Fund - Communities Programme; and
Director of National Parks additional funding.

In addition, under Section 32 Directions (FMA Act), annual appropriations of $46.836m have been transferred to the Department following the abolition of the Australian Greenhouse Office, the National Oceans Office and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission.

These appropriations comprise:

$39.406m from the Australian Greenhouse Office;
$6.108m from the National Oceans Office; and
$1.322m from the Department of the Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs.

Total expenses are estimated to be $321.058m in 2004-05, an increase of $64.501m primarily due to the variations in Revenue from Government as mentioned above.

Budgeted Departmental Statement of Financial Position

The Department's budgeted net asset position of $283.704m in 2004-05 represents an increase of $25.686m from the 2003-04 final budget outcome of $258.018m. The increase primarily relates to the appropriation receivable.

Schedule of Budgeted Revenues and Expenses Administered on behalf of Government

In the 2004-05 Portfolio Budget Statements for the Environment and Heritage Portfolio administered revenue estimates were projected to increase following reforms to the Ozone Protection Act 1989, to take account of the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989, enacted in December 2003.

Revenue collected in 2003-04 under the Synthetic Greenhouse Gas (Import Levy) Act 1995 and the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas (Manufacture Levy) Act 1995 was slower than anticipated in 2003-04 as a result of delays in the establishment of the licensing system required to collect levies under the new Act. The non-taxation sales of goods and services revenue fluctuates from year to year mainly due to the biennial nature of revenue collected from fees for licence applications under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989.

The majority of the Administered non-taxation revenue consists of revenue collected under the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority Environment Management Charge, which is returned to the Official Public Account before being appropriated back to the Authority ($7.4m in each of the years 2004-05 to 2007-08). This category of revenue also contains estimates relating to grant repayments from previous years under the Natural Heritage Trust of Australia, returned to the Official Public Account ($1.1m in each of the years 2004-05 to 2007-08).

Compared to 2003-04, administered expenses have increased by $196.0m in 2004-05 primarily due to:

the incorporation into the Department of administered grants previously appropriated to the Australian Greenhouse Office following the Office's abolition as an executive agency under the Public Service Act 1999 on 26 October 2004 and as a prescribed agency under the Financial Management and Accountability Act (FMA Act) 1997 on 3 November 2004;
an increase in the level of grant expenses for the Natural Heritage Trust;
the transfer of Indigenous grant programmes to the Department from the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs following the abolition of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission on 20 June 2004; and
additional funding for new measures announced since the 2004-05 Budget.

Schedule of Budgeted Assets and Liabilities Administered on behalf of Government

The principle administered assets comprise the Department's administered investments relating to the portfolio's statutory authorities. The schedule varies little from year to year.

Schedule of Budgeted Administered Cash Flows

Cash received from the Official Public Account represents receipts of administered appropriations. This revenue is no longer reported as administered revenue as a result of changed requirements under the Finance Minister's Orders in the 2001–02 financial year.

(a) Departmental Financial Statements and Notes of Administered Items

Under the Australian Government's accrual budgeting framework, and consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, transactions that agencies control (departmental transactions) are separately budgeted for and reported on from transactions over which agencies do not have control (administered transactions). This ensures that agencies are only held fully accountable for the transactions over which they have control.

Departmental assets are those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to an agency or authority that are controlled by the agency. Departmental expenses include employee and supplier expenses and other administrative costs, which are incurred by the agency in providing its goods and services.
Administered items are revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities that are managed by an agency or authority on behalf of the Government according to set Government directions. Administered expenses include subsidies, grants and personal benefit payments and administered revenues include taxes, fees, fines and excises.

(b) Appropriations in the Accrual Budgeting Framework

Under the Australian Government's accrual budgeting framework, separate annual appropriations are provided for:

departmental price of outputs appropriations: representing the Government's funding for outputs from agencies;
departmental capital appropriations: for investments by the Government for either additional equity injections or loans in agencies;
administered expense appropriations: for the estimated administered expenses relating to an existing outcome, a new outcome or a Specific Purpose Payment to the states; and
administered capital appropriations: for increases in administered equity through funding non-expense administered payments.

Special appropriations fund the majority of payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (especially those that are entitlement driven or involve transfers to state governments).

(c) Administered investments in controlled entities

Each Commonwealth Department is required to show an administered investment in each Commonwealth Authority and Company (CAC) Act 1997 entity within their portfolio.

These administered investments should be valued at the Commonwealth's ownership interest in the net assets of those CAC entities, fixed at a notional acquisition date of 30 June 1997.

(d) Asset Valuation

From 1 July 2002 Commonwealth agencies and authorities are required to use either the cost basis or the fair value basis to measure property, plant and equipment. The shift from the deprival method of valuation to fair value should occur gradually over a three-year period. Fair value essentially reflects the current market value of an asset. See guidance from the Department of Finance and Administration on how to calculate fair value.

Variances in Revenues from Government and Expenses between 2003-04 and the forward estimate years relates primarily to the following:
The abolition of the Australian Greenhouse Office and the National Oceans Office as executive agencies under the Public Service Act 1999 on 26 October 2004 and as prescribed agencies under the Financial Management and Accountability Act (FMA Act) 1997 on 3 November 2004. These agencies were incorporated into the Department.
The transfer of Indigenous programme functions to the Department from the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs following the Government decision to abolish the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and cease the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services functions.
The revenue from Government estimates also includes funds appropriated directly to the Department and transferred to the Director of National Parks (DNP). There is no direct appropriation from Government to the DNP. DNP funding of $40.1m will be appropriated to the Department in 2004-05.
The revenue from the sale of goods and services estimates mainly relate to the recovery of administration costs for programmes relating to the Natural Heritage Trust of Australia.
The grant expense estimates include payment to the DNP ($40.1m in 2004-05) and other departmental grants.
The increase in receivables in 2004-05 mainly relates to the transfer of appropriation receivable transferred from the Australian Greenhouse Office ($20.204m).
In 1998-99 $7.8m was borrowed from the Department of Finance and Administration for refurbishment and fitout of the John Gorton Building in Parkes. Repayments for the John Gorton Building loan will be over nine years, with the final repayment being made in 2007-08.
As a result of delays in establishing the licensing system required for levies under the Synthetic Greenhouse Gas (Import Levy) Act 1995 and the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas(Manufacture Levy) Act 1995, revenue predicted to be collected under this category in 2003-04 did not eventuate.
Administered grant expenses relate to grant payments to non profit institutions, related entities and state, territory and local governments and other specific grant programmes including grants under the Natural Heritage Trust.
Supplier and Other Goods and Services expenses relate to the general provision of goods and rendering of services for projects and grants administered under the Natural Heritage Trust and the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Account.
