Accounting Policy

Administered Cash Transfers to and from the Official Public Account

Revenue collected by the department for use by the Australian Government rather than the department is administered revenue. Collections are transferred to the Official Public Account (OPA) which is maintained by the Department of Finance. Conversely, cash is drawn from the OPA to make payments under Parliamentary appropriation on behalf of Australian Government. These transfers to and from the OPA are adjustments to the administered cash held by the department on behalf of the Australian Government and reported as such in the schedule of administered cash flows and in the administered reconciliation schedule.
