Part 2 - Details and Expected Performance for Output Expenses
Part 2.1 - Departmental Output Expenses
Governance and Performance Advice for Crown Agencies (M72)
Scope of Appropriation
This appropriation is limited to monitoring of and advice on the governance, performance and capability of transport Crown agencies.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased due to a fiscally neutral transfer of $650,000 to departmental output expense Policy Advice. This reflected:
- the estimated actual cost of the outputs purchased by the Minister, and
- the reprioritisation of work by the Ministry to manage the transfer of departmental funding to Maritime New Zealand to assist it with its ongoing activities following the Rena grounding.
The original cost for this output class was based on that of 2010/11, which included work on two Crown entity reviews. This expenditure was not repeated in 2011/12.
