Special Accounts can be created by a Finance Minister's Determination under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997. These Determinations may be disallowed by the Parliament. Special Accounts can also be established by the passage of separate legislation. Abolition of Special Accounts requires a Determination to be made by the Finance Minister or, for those Accounts established by legislation, by repeal of the legislation in whole or part. Table 2.6 shows the expected additions (credits) and reductions (debits) for each account used by DEH.
