Budget variances commentary
All variances above 10% of the relevant category are considered significant and explained below.
Taxation receivables
This reflects GST receivable from the Australian Taxation Office based on estimates of expenditure made during budget development. It is not unusual for this amount to change from time to time in the normal course of business.
Trade and other receivables
The budget assumes that revenues will be received before year end. In this instance the closing balance reflects minor receivables outstanding at year end.
Other non-financial assets
ACIAR recognises prepayments at the end of the year for goods and services paid for but not yet consumed, this amount changes from time to time in the normal course of business.
Payables - suppliers
ACIAR recognises payables and accrued expenditure at the end of the year for work performed but not yet paid (including salaries), this amount changes from time to time in the normal course of business.
Payables - other payables
ACIAR recognised a 'performance obligation' liability following the application of AASB 15 on contracts between ACIAR and external parties for the provision of research programs for the first time in 2019–20. Refer to the Overview section for accounting policy on AASB 15.
Employee provisions
The increase in employee provisions reflects changes in the long-term bond rate, changes in exchange rates, and the impact of COVID-19 with employees taking less leave than budgeted.
