Financial performance
The operations of ACIAR are split between departmental and administered activities. The departmental and administered activities of ACIAR are segregated in the financial statements.
Departmental activities involve the use of assets, liabilities, income and expenses controlled or incurred by ACIAR in its own right (costs of running the business). Administered activities involve the management or overseeing by ACIAR, on behalf of the Australian Government, of items controlled or incurred by the government (program delivery).
Departmental activity
The net operating result for 2018–19 was a loss of $0.373 million (2017–18: surplus of $0.204 million). Excluding depreciation and amortisation and other asset adjustments including re-valuation and write-downs, the surplus was $0.150 million (2017–18: $0.600 million). The surplus corresponds with self-funded expenditure on improving IT infrastructure systems, which were capitalised during the year.
Revenue included a direct appropriation of $9.302 million (2017–18: $9.364 million) supplemented by other income of $2.676 million (2017–18: $1.252 million). Other income was mostly from fees derived from the management of research monies received under separate agreements or records of understanding with external parties.
The main components of departmental expenditure ($12.302 million; 2017–18 $10.355 million) were staff costs $7.329 million, operating expenses (e.g. property expenses, travel, IT, communications, etc.) $4.491 million, and depreciation and amortisation of $0.482 million.
Administered activity
Total administered funds appropriated to ACIAR for 2018–19 were $97.965 million (2017–18: $96.882 million). The 2018–19 appropriated funds were fully utilised. ACIAR received an additional $11.951 million (2017–18: $13.687 million) under separate agreements or records of understanding with external parties.
Total program expenditure for 2018–19 was $113.217 million (2017–18: $112.491 million). This included $15.090 million (2017–18: $15.380 million) expenditure of monies received under separate agreements or records of understanding with external parties (mainly DFAT).
