Budget Variance Commentary

A variance is considered major when the variance between budget and actual is greater than 10% and greater than 2% of the relevant category (expenses, revenue, assets, liabilities, receipts or payments). An item below this threshold will be included if considered important for the reader's understanding.

Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

Explanation of major variances

Affected line items

An increase of sales of goods and services revenue of $1.123m is primarily due to the Library entering or securing a higher number of contracts for digitisation services, higher than forecast sales of books and publications.

Sale of goods and rendering of services

An increase of deposit interest of $0.445m is primarily due to a higher percentage of funds being held in investments throughout the year.

Deposit Interest

An increase in other revenue by $2.688m is primarily due to the Library obtaining a significantly higher number of one-off large donations in the 2018-19 financial year. Receipt of donations are not known when setting the budget.

Other Revenue

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Explanation of major variances

Affected line items

An increase of cash and cash equivalents of $12.685m is primarily due to lower than budgeted asset purchases as well as lower than anticipated supplier expenditure in June. Additionally, a term deposit of $10.124m at 30 June had a less than 90 day maturity, and was therefore deemed as cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents

An increase of investments balance of $2.872m is primarily due to a lower than expected cash outflow throughout 2018-19.

Investments

A decrease of suppliers payable of $0.920m is due to a higher proportion of invoices paid prior to the end of June.

Suppliers

Consolidated Cash Flow Statement

Explanation of major variances

Affected line items

An increase of sales of goods and services revenue of $2.786m is primarily due to the Library entering or securing a higher number of contracts for digitisation services, and higher than forecast sales of books and publications.

Sale of goods and rendering of services

An increase in cash used for suppliers of $2.770m is due to a lower proportion of supplier payables and accruals ($0.920m) at 30 June 2019 as well as an increase in expenditure on suppliers ($1.295m) and grants ($0.325m) throughout the year.

Cash used - Suppliers Expense

An increase in the cash received and cash used for investments is primarily due to the original budget reflecting the net cash received from investments rather than gross inflows and outflows.

Cash received – Investments Cash used - Investments

A decrease in the cash used for the purchase of property plant and equipment of $6.799m is primarily due to delayed expenditure on major capital works and a lower than forecast expenditure on collection acquisitions in 2018-19. This increase was partially offset by a $3.135m increase in intangible assets from higher than forecast expenditure on digitisation of collection items and major IT projects.
