Budget Variances Commentary (continued)

Statement of Financial Position

Cash and cash equivalents
The value of cash and cash equivalents was greater than budget due to extra cash being requested for an expected rental invoice of approximately $400k which was not issued before the end of financial year by the supplier and not anticipated in the original budget.

Trade and other receivables
The value of trade and other receivables was less than budget primarily due to higher Appropriation drawdown during the year as a result.

Property, plant and equipment
The value of property, plant and equipment was greater than budget due to an increased value of the Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment (IPE) assets as a result of a revaluation undertaken in June 2019, and the Heritage and Cultural (HC) assets as a result of the revaluation in April 2018, which was not anticipated in the original budget.

Other provisions
The provision for restoration was less than budget due to two make good write-offs for the Chester Hill building in New South Wales and East Victoria Park building in Western Australia as a result of the cessation of the National Archives' leases. Following an assessment it was determined that make good was not required, which was not anticipated in the original budget.

Reserves
The value of asset revaluation reserves was greater than budget due to the movements for the IPE and HC asset valuation and write-offs of the provision for restoration as above, which were difficult to anticipate when developing the original budget.
