The prior year Audited Actual Expenditure, and the Budgeted and Estimated Actual Expenditure information in the Trends in the Vote table, has been restated to reflect the current Vote structure in 2014/15.
As a consequence of the 2013 Amendments to the Public Finance Act, all Multi-Class Output Expense Appropriations (MCOA) have been converted to Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure Appropriations (MCA) with effect from 1 July 2014. Accordingly, values for MCOAs previously recognised as Output Expenses from 2009/10 to 2013/14, are now recognised as MCA Output Expenses.
From 1 February 2011, Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand were integrated into the Department of Internal Affairs. This is reflected in the Output Expenses, Capital Expenditure and MCA Output Expenses from 1 July 2009.
In 2013/14, a MCA was created for Community Funding Schemes. Accordingly, values previously recognised from 2009/10 to 2013/14 as Other Expenses, are now recognised as MCA Other Expenses.
The Charities Commission functions were transferred to an operational unit within the Department of Internal Affairs from 1 July 2012. Previously, the Commission was funded by way of a Non-Departmental Output Expense. Expenditure previously recognised as an Output Expense is now recognised as a MCA Output Expense from 1 July 2009.
As a result of the transfer of Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM) functions to Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet with effect from 1 April 2014, all expenditure relating to MCDEM previously recognised as Output Expenses or Other Expenses, has been eliminated from 1 July 2009.
1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends
Significant changes in Vote Internal Affairs are discussed briefly below.
Output Expenses
The decrease in baseline in 2010/11 mainly reflects a lower level of funding for optimising central government investment in local government.
The decrease in 2012/13 reflects one-off funding in 2011/12 for the transition costs associated with the integration of the Charities Commission into the Department of Internal Affairs and an expense transfer from 2010/11 to 2011/12 for the integration of new functions and consequent restructuring of the Department of Internal Affairs. This was partially offset by a transfer of funding from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to efficiency gains and savings initiatives associated with the National Dog Control Information Database and the Rates Rebate Scheme.
The increase in baseline in 2013/14 reflects funding for transition and stranded overhead costs associated with the transfer of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management functions to Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet and an expense transfer from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for the Grants and Client Management Systems project.
From 2014/15, the baseline remains stable.
Benefits or Related Expenses
The increase in expenditure in 2010/11 reflects an increase in demand for the Rates Rebate Scheme.
Other Expenses
In 2010/11, one-off funding was provided to write-off, or make good damage to, departmental assets and to re-establish departmental operations in Christchurch following the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
The increase in baseline in 2013/14 mainly reflects one-off funding for the reconstruction of the Pitt Island Wharf in the Chatham Islands.
Capital Expenditure
In 2009/10 and 2010/11, loans were provided to the Auckland Transition Agency to enable the implementation of the Auckland Governance Reforms.
From 2009/10 to 2012/13, capital expenditure reflects a large investment in several major infrastructural asset projects including "Building a National Library for the 21st Century", replacement of passport systems, and development of an All-of-Government identity verification system (now called "RealMe").
The National Library building upgrade and the On-Line renewal of passports project were completed in 2012/13.
The capital programme in 2013/14 and outyears reflects ongoing investment in both corporate and service delivery infrastructure (including RealMe and replacement of the Financial Management Information System), new investment in transformational programmes (including Service Delivery operational systems and Information and Knowledge Services integration), together with ongoing investment in renewing the existing asset base.
In 2013/14, one-off funding was provided to purchase the Television New Zealand Archive Facility in Wellington.
Multi-Category Output Expenses
In 2010/11, funding was received for costs associated with the integration of Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand into the Department of Internal Affairs, operational costs associated with the Government Infrastructure as a Service initiative, the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Canterbury Earthquakes and the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy. The baseline also increased due to expense transfers from 2009/10 to 2010/11 for the All-of-Government Authentication programme, establishment of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism unit and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Common Capability.
The increase in baseline from 2010/11 to 2013/14 also reflects the increase in demand for passport products due to the change in passport validity from ten to five years.
The baseline in 2011/12 reflects continued funding for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Building Failure caused by Canterbury Earthquakes and the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy. In 2011/12, funding was also received for the development of a portfolio of potential cross-agency ICT capability investments and the ongoing operation and development of the igovt All-of-Government service.
The increase in baseline in 2012/13 reflects expenditure associated with managing the Government's adoption of Cloud Computing and for implementing the Functional Leadership of Government ICT. The baseline also increased due to expense transfers from 2011/12 to 2012/13 mainly for Positioning for Efficiency Savings, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Building Failure caused by Canterbury Earthquakes, the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy, the New Generation Implementation Programme, the Government Information Services Online Programme and Aotearoa People's Network Kaharoa.
The overall increase in baseline in 2012/13 was partially offset by a decrease in departmental output expenses as a result of the Department's efficiency savings. These efficiency savings continue in 2013/14 and outyears.
The increase in 2013/14 reflects an increase in the level of funding for implementing the Functional Leadership of Government ICT, funding for the progression of ICT initiatives and for the Government Chief Privacy Officer, a transfer of funding from 2012/13 to 2013/14 due to efficiency gains in 2012/13, funding for the Government Chief Information Officer to provide coordinated oversight and delivery of system-wide ICT assurance and expense transfers from 2012/13 to 2013/14 mainly for amendments to the RealMe work programme, National Library Service Reviews, the National Library and Archives New Zealand Strategic Partnership Programme, Result 10: Smart Digital Services Programme, the Government Information Services Online Programme, Infrastructure as a Service Transition, the Better Local Government Reform Programme, Anti-Money Laundering, the Local Government Reorganisation and for administration costs associated with the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust. The increase was partially offset by expense transfers from 2011/12 to 2012/13, a higher level of demand for information technology services by other agencies in 2012/13 and the completion of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Building Failure caused by Canterbury Earthquakes and the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy in 2012/13.
The decrease in 2014/15 reflects a lower level of funding for the progression of ICT initiatives and a decrease in expenditure associated with the 2012 Passport fee reduction. This was partially offset by funding for the depreciation and capital change associated with the Television New Zealand Archive Facility in Wellington, and higher levels of funding for the Government Chief Privacy Officer and stranded overhead costs as a result of the transfer of Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management functions to Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet with effect from 1 April 2014.
From 2015/16, the baseline remains stable and mainly reflects the completion of the Confidential Listening and Assistance Service and lower levels of funding for a programme of work to enable New Zealanders to complete their most common transactions with government easily in a digital environment, the ongoing operation and development of RealMe and the progression of other ICT initiatives.
Multi-Category Other Expenses
From 2010/11, funding was received to enable selected communities to improve their access and capability in the use of digital tools.
The increase in baseline in 2012/13 is due to an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to delays in the development of community-led initiatives.
The increase in baseline in 2013/14 is due to an expense transfer from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to reflect the timing of the implementation of specific projects within the community-led initiatives.
The decrease from 2014/15 reflects a lower level of funding for digital literacy.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The decrease in this appropriation in 2014/15 compared with the corresponding appropriation in 2013/14 [refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details] is mainly due to a forecast decrease in expenditure associated with the 2012 Passport fee reduction and expense transfers from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for amendments to the RealMe work programme, the Government Digital Archive Project, Digitisation of the New Zealand Defence Force Records, National Library Service Reviews and the National Library and Archives New Zealand Strategic Partnership Programme. This is partially offset by funding for stranded overhead costs as a result of the transfer of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management functions to Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet and funding for depreciation and capital charge associated with the Television New Zealand Archive Facility in Wellington.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The decrease in this appropriation in 2014/15 compared with the corresponding appropriation in 2013/14 [refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details] is mainly due to expense transfers from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for ICT Functional Leadership, Optimise HR, Result 10: Smart Digital Services Programme, the Government Information Services Online Programme, Infrastructure as a Service Transition and for an ongoing programme of initiatives to enable the transformation of systems and processes within the Department of Internal Affairs. Also contributing is one-off funding in 2013/14 for Result 10, ICT Contact Centre Optimisation, ICT nz.govt.nz redevelopment, ICT Government Online Engagement Services and Optimise HR. The decrease is partially offset by a higher level of funding in 2014/15 for the Government Chief Privacy Officer.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The decrease in 2014/15 in this appropriation compared with the corresponding appropriation in 2013/14 [refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details] is mainly due to one-off funding in 2013/14 for the Government Inquiry into the Whey Protein Concentrate Contamination Incident, a lower level of funding for the Confidential Listening and Assistance Service in 2014/15 and expense transfers from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for the administration of the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust, Local Government Reorganisation and for an ongoing programme of initiatives to enable the transformation of systems and processes within the Department of Internal Affairs. The decrease is partially offset by a lower level of demand for services provided to the Lottery Grants Board in 2013/14 only.
