Budget Variances Commentary (continued)

Cash Flow Statement

Appropriations
The variance for appropriations received is mainly due to the amounts relating to revenue from Section 74 of the PGPA Act not included in the original budget. Additional Appropriation drawdown was requested during the year as a result of higher than anticipated employee and supplier expenditure and capital purchases for identified strategic initiatives.

Sales of goods and rendering of services
Sales of goods and rendering of services is more than budget primarily due to extra funding received from Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet for managing the Prime Minister legacy gifts transferred into the National Archives' custody, which was not anticipated in the original budget.

Employees
Employees is greater than budget due to a Voluntary Redundancy Program undertaken in 2018 -19 and the establishment of the Digital Archives Taskforce from 1 July 2018 which were not included in the original budget.
