Overview
Objectives of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) is a not-for-profit Australian Government controlled entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements. The objective of the Department is to provide policy advice and support to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, Portfolio Ministers and Assistant Ministers on matters that are at the forefront of public and government administration.
On 5 May 2021, the Government established NRRA to support local communities. The new agency subsumed the functions of the National Bushfire Recovery Agency and the non-drought policy development functions of the National Drought and North Queensland Flood Response and Recovery Agency.
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements and are required by section 42 of the PGPA.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:
- Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Financial Reporting) Rule 2015; and
- Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations – Reduced Disclosure Requirements issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except where certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, and are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise specified.
Except where stated below, administered items are accounted for on the same basis and using the same policies as for departmental items, including the application of Australian Accounting Standards.
The Department has assessed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the balances included in its financial statements. The fair value of its land, buildings and property, plant and equipment and leasehold improvements was assessed due to the valuation uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Further information is included in the accounting policy for Note 3.2 Non-financial Assets and companies and Note 4.2 Administered – Non-financial Assets.
The Department has concluded that COVID-19 has not had a material impact on the fair value of these assets.
The COVID impact also has an effect on the carrying value of administered investment. Further information is included in the accounting policy for Note 4.1C Investments on corporate Commonwealth entities.
Taxation
The Department is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Mining Withholding Tax.
New Australian accounting standards
No new accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard.
Other new standards, revised standards, interpretations and amending standards that were issued prior to the sign- off date and are applicable to the current reporting period did not have material financial impact, and are not expected to have a future material financial impact on the Department.
Event after the reporting period
There were no events occurring after 30 June 2021 that would have a material impact on the financial statements.

Accounting Policy Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when control has been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from agreements between PM&C and other related parties are recognised as per AASB 15 and revenue from appropriations and resources received free of charge are recognised as per AASB1058. PM&C’s principal activity in generating revenue is through the delivery of corporate services. Performance obligations are satisfied over time. The transaction price is the total amount of consideration to which PM&C expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any impairment allowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at the end of the reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable. |
Note 1.2B: Resources received free of charge | ||
Seconded staff | 6,139 | 5,821 |
Volunteer services | 282 | 1,149 |
Other | 210 | 202 |
Total resources received free of charge | 6,631 | 7,172 |
Accounting Policy Resources received free of charge are recognised as revenue when, and only when, a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature. On the initial recognition of volunteer services as an asset or an expense, PM&C recognises any related amounts in accordance with the relevant standard. |

Accounting Policy Asset recognition threshold Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangibles are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $5,000, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than ICT assets where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total). The initial cost of an asset includes (where relevant) an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. This is particularly relevant to make good provisions in property leases taken up by PM&C where there exists an obligation to restore the asset to its original condition. These costs are included in the value of PM&C's property, plant and equipment with a corresponding provision for the make good recognition. Property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured at fair value. Leased right-of-use (ROU) assets Leased ROU assets are capitalised at the commencement date of the lease and comprise of the initial lease liability amount, initial direct costs incurred when entering into the lease less any lease incentives received. These assets are accounted for by Commonwealth lessees as separate asset classes to corresponding assets owned outright, but included in the same column as where the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. On initial adoption of AASB 16 PM&C adjusted the ROU assets at the date of initial application by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognised immediately before the date of initial application. Following initial application, an impairment review is undertaken for any right-of-use lease asset that shows indicators of impairment and an impairment loss is recognised against any right-of-use lease asset that is impaired. Revaluations Following initial recognition at cost, property, plant and equipment (excluding ROU assets) are carried at fair value (or an amount not materially different from fair value) less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amounts of assets did not differ materially from fair value as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reversed a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the surplus/(deficit. | |

Buildings excluding leasehold improvements Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment | Market selling price and depreciated replacement cost Depreciated replacement cost Market selling price and depreciated replacement cost |
Significant accounting judgements and estimates In 2020-21, PM&C procured the services of independent valuation experts to perform a desktop valuation of departmental property, plant and equipment and leasehold improvements as at 30 June 2021. The experts provided written assurance that the models developed to value assets are in compliance with accounting and valuation standards and identified that currently there is significant valuation uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacting markets. However, while this uncertainty exists the valuations also took into consideration that real estate markets and in particular certain niches in the market (unique properties such as those held by PM&C) are less volatile. The valuation methodologies used (the market approach and the depreciated replacement cost method) have reflected current market conditions and the impact of COVID-19. The department currently has no assets held for sale which may be impacted by the market uncertainty. PM&C will revalue its assets again in 2021-22. PM&C tests its valuation model via internal management review at least once every 12 months. PM&C has a rolling revaluation plan in place which ensures assets are formally revalued at least once every three years. If a particular asset class experiences significant and volatile changes in fair value (i.e. where indicators suggest that the value of the class has changed materially since the previous reporting period), that class is subject to specific valuation in the reporting period, where practicable, regardless of the timing of the last specific valuation. Assets that do not transact with enough frequency or transparency to develop objective opinions of value from observable market evidence are measured using the cost (depreciated replacement cost) approach. Professional judgement has been applied in calculating the consumed economic benefit or asset obsolescence relevant to the asset under construction. All property, plant and equipment assets are valued on a recurring basis except for assets held for sale. Upon revaluation, any accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount. Assets held for sale Assets held for sale are measured at the lesser of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and are valued at a non-recurring basis. PM&C currently has no assets held for sale (2020: $nil). Intangibles PM&C’s intangibles comprise internally developed and purchased software for internal use. These assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment during 2020-21. Where indications of impairment exist, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment loss made if the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciable assets are written-down to estimated residual value over its estimated useful life using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation. Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation rates applying to each class of asset are based on the following total useful lives for the current and prior reporting periods: | |
Asset class | Useful lives |
Buildings excluding leasehold improvements Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Intangibles | 3 to 50 years (2020: 3 to 50 years) Lease term (2020: Lease term) 1 to 25 years (2020: 1 to 25 years) 1 to 5 years (2020: 1 to 5 years) |
The depreciation rates for ROU assets are based on the commencement date, to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. De-recognition An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits is expected from its use or disposal. |

PM&C in its capacity as a lessee has a total of nine significant departmental leases split into two property leases and seven motor vehicle leases. The details of the significant leases are as follows.
- One National Circuit, Barton, ACT – The lease has a remaining term of 11.67 years. There are no options to extend this lease and the lease expiry date is 16 February 2033.
- 10 National Circuit, Barton, ACT – The lease has a remaining term of three years. There is an option to extend this lease by two years at the lease expiry date of 31 July 2024.
The above lease disclosures should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes 1.1B, 1.1C and 3.2.
Accounting Policy For all new contracts entered into, PM&C considers whether the contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as “a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration”. Once it has been determined that a contract is, or contains a lease, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable, or the department’s incremental borrowing rate. Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is re-measured to reflect any reassessment or modification to the lease. When the lease liability is re-measured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset or profit and loss depending on the nature of the re-assessment or modification. |

Accounting Policy Administered investments in subsidiaries are not consolidated because their consolidation is relevant only at the whole-of-government level. Administered investments are classified through other comprehensive income and are measured at fair value as at 30 June 2021. Fair value has been taken to be the Government's proportional interest in the net assets as advised by the entities as at the end of the reporting period, recorded in the latest management accounts or unaudited financial statements provided. Corporate Commonwealth entities and companies are subject to prevailing economic conditions which include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID pandemic has not caused any significant impacts to the amounts recorded for assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2021. However, it should be noted that the ongoing impact from COVID-19 into the future continues to be monitored. |

Accounting Policy Revaluation In 2020-21, PM&C procured the services of independent valuation experts to perform a desktop valuation of administered land, buildings and property, plant and equipment and leasehold improvements assets as at 30 June 2021. The experts provided written assurance that the models developed to value assets are in compliance with accounting and valuation standards and identified that currently there is significant valuation uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacting markets. However, while this uncertainty exists the valuations also took into consideration that real estate markets and in particular certain niches in the market (unique properties such as those held by PM&C) are less volatile. The valuation methodologies used (the market approach and the depreciated replacement cost method) have reflected current market conditions and the impact of COVID-19. The department currently has no assets held for sale which may be impacted by the market uncertainty Depreciation Depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives for the current and prior reporting periods. | |

6. People
for the period ended 30 June 2021
This section describes a range of employment and post-employment benefits provided to our people.

Note 6.1A: Employee provisions | ||
Annual leave | 16,426 | 15,058 |
Long service leave | 25,806 | 25,755 |
Total employee provisions | 42,232 | 40,813 |
Accounting policy and significant accounting judgements Employee benefits Liabilities for short-term employee benefits and termination benefits due within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts. Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees of PM&C is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave. The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration at the estimated salary rates that will be applied at the time the leave is taken, including PM&C’s employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination. The liability for long service leave has been determined by reference to the work of an actuary. The estimate of the present value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation. Separation and redundancy A liability is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. PM&C recognises a liability for termination when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry out the terminations. Superannuation PM&C staff are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap) or another fund of their choice. The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes for the Commonwealth. The PSSap is a defined contribution scheme. The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. This liability is reported in the Department of Finance’s administered schedules and notes. PM&C makes employer contributions to the employees' superannuation scheme. For Commonwealth defined benefits schemes, these rates are determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the current cost to the Government. PM&C accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans. |

Accounting Policy The expense and liabilities for services rendered by staff employed in the Prime Minister’s Official Establishments and in support of former Governors-General are recognised as administered items. Accounting policies are consistent with those applied to departmental items. |

Future salary increases | 3.00% | 2.90% |
Inflation rate | 2.20% | 1.97% |
Rate of expenditure slow down over time | 1.50% | 3.00% |
Accounting Policy Former Governors-General benefits PM&C has responsibility for the administration of non-cash benefits provided to former Governors-General. These entitlements are regarded as post-employment benefits and represent the provision of office facilities, administrative support and transport. The liability for these benefits is calculated annually as the present value of future benefit obligations. Actuarial gains or losses are recognised in equity in the year in which they occur. Interest on the liability is recognised in the surplus/(deficit). Significant accounting judgements and estimates The provision for non-cash former Governors-General entitlements relate to post-employment benefits such as office facilities, administrative support and transport. The future liability for these benefits is based on the actuarial assessment determined by the Australian Government Actuary, which is performed annually. |

7. Managing uncertainties
for the period ended 30 June 2021
This section analyses how the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet manages financial risks within its operating environment.
7.1 Contingent assets and liabilities
Note 7.1A: Contingent assets and liabilities
Quantifiable contingencies
The department holds no legal quantifiable contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2021 (2020: nil).
Unquantifiable contingencies
As at 30 June 2021, the department had contingent gains likely to be receipted that are not quantifiable. There are five open legal matters relating to a range of legal issues with varying probabilities of success. It is not possible to estimate the amounts and any eventual receipts or payments that may be received or made in relation to these claims.
Accounting Policy Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset, or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when the probability of settlement is greater than remote. |
Note 7.1B: Administered contingent assets and liabilities
PM&C is not aware of any material administered quantifiable or unquantifiable contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2020.

Net gain/ (loss) on financial assets | (15) | 777 |
Accounting Policy Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period based on expected credit losses. Using the general approach, the loss allowance is based on an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses where risk has significantly increased, or an amount equal to 12‐month expected credit losses if risk has not increased. The simplified approach for trade and contract receivables is used. This approach always measures the loss allowance as the amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. Financial liabilities Supplier and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced). Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon trade date. Settlement of supplier payables is usually made within 30 days. The relevant government bond rate has been used to discount non-current liabilities. |
