Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The appropriation has increased by $2.664 million to $22.791 million, due to:
- an increase of $1.092 million following a review of the methodology for allocating corporate and administrative expenses to outputs
- a transfer of $900,000 from Representation - Waitangi Tribunal reflecting lower caseloads in the Waitangi Tribunal and to support Government's aspirational goal to settle historical Treaty of Waitangi claims by 2014, and
- a transfer of $730,000 from Vote Justice Policy Advice to fund litigation expenses.
Offset by a transfer of efficiency savings of $58,000 to 2012/13.
