Statement of Responsibility
These financial statements have been prepared by the Treasury in accordance with the provisions of the Public Finance Act 1989. The financial statements comply with generally accepted accounting practice.
The Treasury is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that the transactions recorded are within statutory authority and properly record the use of all public financial resources by the Crown. To the best of my knowledge, this system of internal control has operated adequately throughout the reporting period.

I accept responsibility for the integrity of these financial statements, the information they contain and their compliance with the Public Finance Act 1989.
In my opinion, these financial statements fairly reflect the financial position of the Crown as at 30 June 2006 and its operations for the year ended on that date.
