1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Total Vote: All Appropriations
The changes in total appropriations are mainly due to the periodic valuation of costs and services for non-departmental activities, which are undertaken by the Accident Compensation Corporation.
Output Expenses and Benefits and Related Expenses
The fluctuating trend in the output expenses reflects the annual revaluation of ongoing liabilities, assets, and forecasted costs based on updated historical performance and economic factors to meet the funding needs of the Non-Earners' Account portion of ACC.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure
The following are the key changes that are reflected in these trends:
- 2011/12 contained one-off funding for additional policy work in relation to the investigation of choice in scheme provision
- from 2011/12 there was additional funding of $482,000 as a result of internal structural changes in corporate and policy functions within the Department of Labour
- from 2012/13 there was a decrease as a result of efficiency savings of $129,000
- in 2012/13 the function of monitoring the Accident Compensation Commission (ACC) was transferred to the Treasury, and
- 2013/14 reflects the full decrease of the transfer of the monitoring function.
