Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $39,000 to $902,000 in 2011/12. The decrease relates to:
- a fiscally neutral realignment of costs to reflect changes in the Department's cost allocation model ($159,000)
- a retention of underspends resulting from savings initiatives in corporate functions in 2011/12 to fund the cost of change in the Department ($2,000).
This is partially offset by an increase in funding relating to:
- a fiscally neutral transfer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade for the World Trade Organisation and Free Trade Agreement / Closer Economic Partnership Negotiations for inter-departmental travel ($85,000)
- an expenditure transfer from 2010/11 for the Department-wide Leadership and Change Development Programme ($1,000)
- an expenditure transfer from 2010/11 for the ILO Asia Pacific Regional meeting ($36,000).
