Statement of Unappropriated Expenditure

for the year ended 30 June 2011

An appropriation is a statutory authorisation by Parliament for the incurring of expenses or capital expenditure. This statement reports expenses or capital expenditure without appropriation and in excess, or outside the scope, of existing appropriations. This statement also reports breaches of projected net asset balance limits set by section 22(3) of the Public Finance Act 1989.

Section 26B of the Public Finance Act 1989 authorises the Minister of Finance to approve limited amounts of expenses or capital expenditure in excess of, but within the scope, of an existing appropriation. Unappropriated amounts incurred in terms of such an approval are shown separately in this statement.

Expenses or capital expenditure incurred without or outside the scope of appropriation or any other authority is unlawful unless validated by Parliament. Unappropriated expenses or capital expenditure in excess of the limits which the Minister of Finance can approve under section 26B of the Public Finance Act 1989 require validating legislation. Such validating legislation will be accompanied by a report to the House of Representatives that sets out the unappropriated items together with an explanation of the Minister responsible for the expenses or capital expenditure.

Amounts in this statement are expressed in thousands of dollars, reflecting the level at which appropriations are made.
