Analysis of Significant Trends
Expense transfers for E-government initiatives from 2006/07 to 2007/08 are the biggest contributor to the increase in appropriation over the period. In addition, an appropriation of $1 million has been approved by Cabinet in the period to cover KiwiSaver employer contributions. This has been partially offset by reductions in utilisation of Benefits and Other Unrequited Expenses and Other Expenses. Departmental Capital expenditure is now included as an appropriation.

| Revenue from Others | 2,430 | (535) | 1,895 |
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
Appropriation changes have resulted from Authentication programme expense transfers of $3.700 million from 2006/07 to 2007/08 and $3 million from 2007/08 to 2008/09. Delays in agency implementation of the Government Logon Service resulted in delays in revenue received.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
An expense transfer of $2.934 million from 2006/07 to 2007/08 increased funds available in the 2007/08 year. A technical change in the accounting treatment of the Government Shared Network funding occurred in October 2007 resulting in a reduction in revenue from others. Delay in completion of the project has resulted in delays in receipt of revenue from third parties and reduced direct expenditure.
