Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $630,000 to $230.975 million for 2015/16.
The increase in the Managing and Accessing Identity Information category is due to:
- uptake of RealMe Services (increase of $1.080 million)
- demand for Citizenship products (increase of $761,000), and
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $698,000).
This increase is partially offset by:
- a contribution towards the Cross-agency System Package (decrease $261,000).
The decrease in the Managing and Accessing Knowledge Information category is due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $2.318 million)
- a transfer of funding to the non-departmental other expense Chatham Islands Wharves to provide funding for the cost overruns associated with the reconstruction of Pitt Island Wharf in the Chatham Islands and for the redesign of the Pitt Island Wharf (decrease of $600,000)

- a transfer of funding to Vote Statistics to reflect the Department of Internal Affairs' contribution to the Data Futures Partnership (decrease of $40,000).
This decrease is partially offset by:
- demand for the Kotui shared library and resource discovery service (increase of $910,000) and Electronic Purchasing in Collaboration services (increase of $600,000).
The increase in the Publishing Civic Information category is due to:
- expenditure associated with the provision of the New Zealand Gazette (increase of $300,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $4.713 million to $33.208 million for 2015/16.

- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $110,000).

- a reduction in expenditure associated with the All-of-Government adoption of Cloud Computing (decrease of $2.300 million)
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $651,000)

- a realignment of the revenue and expenditure baseline for the provision of services by the Government Chief Information Officer to government agencies (decrease of $500,000).
These decreases have been partially offset by:
- an increase in expenditure associated with All-of-Government Common Capability Products due to the addition of two new products, Software Acquisition Strategy and Telecommunications as a Service, during 2015/16 and an increase in security related expenditure for existing products (increase of $1.600 million)
- an increase in expenditure associated with demand for Infrastructure as a Service services by government agencies and investment in IaaS Cloud service offerings (increase of $700,000)
- an expense transfer from 2014/15 to 2015/16 to enable the successful completion of the deliverables of the Software Acquisition Strategy programme in 2015/16 (increase of $500,000), and
- the Govt.nz recoveries from government agencies for non-Crown funded services provided (increase of $40,000).
