Accounting Policy
Equity injections

Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ (less any formal reductions) and Departmental Capital Budgets (DCBs) are recognised directly in contributed equity in that year.

Restructuring of administrative arrangements
Net assets received from or relinquished to another Government entity under a restructuring of administrative arrangements are adjusted at their book value directly against contributed equity.

Other distributions to Owners
The Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Financial Reporting) Rule 2015 (FRR) requires that distributions to owners be debited to contributed equity unless in the nature of a dividend.

Budget variance commentary is disclosed in Note 1.1A.
