1.Revenue from Government reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income is $330.246 million, $5.317 million less than appropriated. The difference relates to the recognition of $5.317 million in 2017-18 through the departmental supplementation process.
2.Advance to the Finance Minister (AFM) relates to the additional funding the ABS received to conduct the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey in 2017-18.
3.Departmental Capital Budgets (DCB) are appropriated through Appropriation Acts (No. 1, 3 and 5). They form part of the ordinary annual services, and are not separately identified in the Appropriation Acts. In 2018-19, the ABS was appropriated $6.334 million in Appropriation Bill (No. 3) which included $5.472 million of DCB that was quarantined under section 51 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, and was reclassified to Departmental operating funding.
4.The equity injection amount in the Statement of Changes in Equity excludes $6.368 million for capital budget recognised in 2017-18.
5.The negative variance primarily represents prior year appropriations being applied in the current year.
