Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $138,000 to $3.788 million for 2013/14 due to:

  • an expense transfer from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for the Grants and Client Management Systems project (increase of $164,000).

The increase is partially offset by:

  • the elimination of residual Kiwisaver and State Sector Retirement Savings Scheme expenditure (decrease of $18,000), and
  • a realignment of funding based on the provision of services across the Vote Internal Affairs portfolios (decrease of $8,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $1.910 million to $243.868 million for 2013/14.

The decrease in the Managing and Accessing Identity Information output expense relates to:

  • a realignment of funding based on the provision of services across the Vote Internal Affairs portfolios (decrease of $1.661 million), and
  • a reduction in expenditure associated with the 2012 Passport fee reduction (decrease of $1.200 million).

These decreases are partially offset by:

  • agency charges associated with RealMe (increase of $1.050 million)
  • an expense transfer from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for amendments to the RealMe work programme (increase of $718,000), and
  • demand for Authentication Services (increase of $33,000).

The increase in the Managing and Accessing Knowledge Information output expense relates to:

  • capital charge as a result of asset revaluations in June 2013 (increase of $982,000)
  • a realignment of funding based on the provision of services across the Vote Internal Affairs portfolios (increase of $767,000)
  • demand for services provided by the National Library (increase of $220,000), digitisation work for Auckland libraries and other partners (increase of $200,000), Kotui shared library and resource discovery service (increase of $171,000), services provided by Archives New Zealand (increase of $100,000) and rental from retail and venue hire (increase of $47,000), and
  • expense transfers from 2012/13 to 2013/14 for the National Library and Archives New Zealand Strategic Partnership Programme (increase of $285,000), the Government Digital Archive project (increase of $159,000) and the Digitisation of New Zealand Defence Force records (increase of $140,000).

These increases are partially offset by:

  • a transfer of funding to the Emergency Management Services MCOA and the Community Information and Advisory Services MCOA to provide support for the development programme for Civil Defence and Emergency Management controllers and for the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management website redevelopment (decrease of $125,000)
  • demand for Electronic Purchasing in Collaboration services (decrease of $112,000), and
  • a transfer of funding to the Information and Technology Services MCOA to reflect the Department of Internal Affairs contribution towards Optimise HR (decrease of $32,000).

The increase in the Publishing Civic Information output expense is due to:

  • depreciation expenditure associated with the capitalisation of Gazette Online (increase of $168,000).
