Accounting policy

Administered Cash Transfers to and from the Official Public Account

Revenue collected by ACIAR for use by the Government, rather than ACIAR, is Administered revenue. Collections are transferred to the Official Public Account (OPA) maintained by the Department of Finance. Conversely, cash is drawn from the OPA to make payments under Parliamentary appropriation on behalf of Government. These transfers to and from the OPA are adjustments to the Administered cash held by the entity on behalf of the Government and reported as such in the Schedule of Administered Cash Flows and in the Administered Reconciliation Schedule.
