Regulatory Charging and Own Source Revenue Departmental expenses are funded through Annual Appropriations and Own source revenue. In turn these resources are utilised to generate departmental and administered revenue. The activities which AFSA performs regulatory charging for are: Insolvency Activities Fees and charges relating to the administration of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 including registry, estate administration, regulation and enforcement. It also includes charges for administration of matters under Proceeds of Crime legislation. Documentation (the Cost Recovery Implementation Statement) for Insolvency activities, is available at https://www.afsa.gov.au/about-us/financial-information/cost-recovery-implementation-statement Personal Property Security Register (PPSR) Activities Fees and charges relating to the operation of the PPSR relate to the registration of security interests, and searches of the register by stakeholders. Documentation (the Cost Recovery Implementation Statement) for PPSR activities, is available at https://www.ppsr.gov.au/cost-recovery-implementation-statement |
5.4. Net Cash Appropriation Arrangements
2020 $'000 | 2019 $'000 | |
---|---|---|
Total comprehensive income/(loss) less depreciation/amortisation expenses previously funded through revenue appropriations | (1,528) | 2,584 |
Less: depreciation/amortisation expenses previously funded through revenue appropriation | (3,938) | (3,315) |
Less: depreciation on right-of-use assets | (3,659) | - |
Plus: principal repayments - leased assets | 3,016 | - |
Total comprehensive income - as per the Statement of Comprehensive Income | (6,109) | (731) |
From 2010–11, the Government introduced net cash appropriation arrangements where revenue appropriations for depreciation/amortisation expenses ceased. Entities now receive a separate capital budget provided through equity appropriations. Capital budgets are to be appropriated in the period when cash payment for capital expenditure is required. The inclusion of depreciation/amortisation expenses related to right-of-use leased assets and the lease liability principle repayment amount reflects the cash impact on implementation of AASB 16 Leases, it does not directly reflect a change in appropriation arrangements. |
