Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation increased by $216,000 to $3.374 million for 2017/18 due to:
- an increase in expenditure associated with increased operational costs including staffing, administration of the e-permit system, fuel, repairs and maintenance at Lake Taupo (increase of $546,000), and
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $197,000).
These increases were partially offset by:
- a reduction in expenditure associated with the expected change in timing from 2017/18 to 2018/19 associated with the tendering process for the National Dog Control Information Database operation and support contract (decrease of $527,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $6.152 million to $243.903 million for 2017/18.
The decrease in the Managing and Accessing Identity Information category was due to:
- a decrease in expenditure associated with slower uptake of RealMe services than initially anticipated (decrease of $12.483 million)
- an operating to capital swap to reflect the capital components associated with the Progressive Steps Project (decrease of $1.870 million), and
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $1.330 million).
These decreases were partially offset by:
- an increase in expenditure associated with higher than anticipated demand for 10 year passport products and expenditure associated with the procurement of a major contract renewal (increase of $3.668 million)
- a transfer of funding from the Justice Sector Fund to Vote Internal Affairs to reflect the Department of Internal Affairs' costs associated with the Progressive Steps Project (increase of $2.120 million)
- funding for the establishment of an independent transition team to prepare a business case to transition to a Digital Identity Collaborative Model (increase of $1.850 million)
- an increase in expenditure associated with increased demand for Citizenship products (increase of $1.184 million)
- an increase in expenditure due to an increase in rental revenue associated with the sub-lease of properties (increase of $845,000), and
- an increase in expenditure associated with increased demand for Birth, Death and Marriage products (increase of $316,000).
The decrease in Managing and Accessing Knowledge Information category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $2.505 million).
This decrease was partially offset by:
- funding for the Increasingly Digital initiative to pilot, then create a business case for three services that will help schools support students to learn with and about digital technology (increase of $1.183 million)
- capital charge expenditure as a result of asset revaluations since June 2013 (increase of $587,000), and
- expenditure associated with demand for the Kotui shared library and resource discovery service (increase of $283,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation decreased by $124,000 to $19.559 million for 2017/18.
The decrease in the Community Development Scheme category was due to:
- an expense transfer of $2.357 million to 2019/20 ($1 million) and 2020/21 ($1.357 million) to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability and enable the programme to settle into a regular cycle of new and existing partnerships (decrease of $2.357 million), and
- a transfer of funding to the category Support for Volunteering to reflect the correct allocation of funding associated with the Budget 2017 initiative "Programme to Develop Prosperous and More Resilient Communities" (decrease of $500,000).
These decreases were partially offset by:
- an expense transfer from 2016/17 to 2017/18 to provide flexibility to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability (increase of $1 million).
The increase in the Social Enterprise Development category was due to:
- funding for a three year social enterprise market development programme (increase of $1.233 million).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation increased by $381,000 to $10.147 million for 2017/18.

- transitional funding for the Language Line interpreting service (increase of $848,000), and
- an increase in expenditure associated with an increase in SERCO costs for Language Line (increase of $195,000).
These increases were partially offset by:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $587,000).
The decrease in the Community Archives Support category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $3,000).
The decrease in the Community Development and Engagement Advice category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $72,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation increased by $10.430 million to $36.830 million for 2017/18.
The increase in the Cross-Government ICT Strategy and Planning, Service Delivery and Investment Proposals category was due to:
- funding from other agencies to Vote Internal Affairs to reflect the Department of Internal Affairs' costs associated with the Service Innovation Work Programme in 2017/18 (increase of $5 million), and
- an expense transfer from 2016/17 to 2017/18 to enable the successful completion of the Result 9: Common Delegations and Information Sharing initiatives in 2017/18 (increase of $610,000).
These increases were partially offset by:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $769,000), and
- return of operating (capital charge) funding to the Wellington Accommodation Project Tranche 2 Contingency Fund due to the delay in the capital injection drawdown in 2016/17 (decrease of $39,000).
The decrease in the Government Chief Privacy Officer category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $24,000).
The increase in the Government Information and Technology Services category was due to:
- an increase in expenditure associated with All-of-Government Common Capability products due to an increase in staffing (including security certification) costs associated with an increased level of uptake for Telecommunications as a Service and going to market costs and the associated costs of negotiating All-of-Government contracts associated with IT Managed Services and Software Framework Agreements (increase of $2.667 million)
- a realignment of the revenue and expenditure baseline associated with the Common Web Platform (increase of $1.488 million)
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $1.456 million), and
- an increase in expenditure due to an increase in rental revenue associated with the sub-lease of properties (increase of $41,000).

The memorandum account was forecast to breakeven from 2020/21, however updated projections now indicate the breakeven position will not occur in 2020/21 due to revised projected costs of operation and service fees. As development of common capability products continues, this will lead to increased or specific products being available to government agencies to access. The rate of recovery from deficit will depend on the uptake rate by government agencies of common capability products, the costs incurred in providing these products and the fees applied.
