Budget Variances commentary

Statement of comprehensive income

Employee Benefits

Variance in employee benefits compared to budget is due to unanticipated staff movements during the year and the timing of recruitment.

Suppliers

Supplier expenses were lower than budget largely due to the impact of COVID-19 on travel and training costs.

Depreciation and amortisation

The variance against the original budget is largely due to timing of amortisation on enhancements to the Electronic Donor Record.

Other revenue

The variance against budget is due to unbudgeted employee separation costs that were subsequently funded by the Department of Health.

Statement of financial position

Cash and cash equivalents

Increase in cash balance at 30 June compared with budget represents deposits made on 30 June.

Trade and other receivables

Variance in trade and other receivables reflects a higher than anticipated appropriation receivable balance at 30 June 2021 and is also reflected in the operating result surplus at 30 June 2021 (excluding unfunded depreciation and amortisation expenses).

Buildings

Depreciation estimates for buildings including right of use assets were higher than estimated in the budget.

Property, plant and equipment

Higher levels of acquisition of computer equipment were achieved during the year than estimated.

Other non-financial assets

Increase compared with budget is due to the timing of the prepayment of support fees for the data and analytic applications.

Payables and other payables

Increase in supplier and other payables is due to the timing of receipt of services and accompanying tax invoice.

Leases

Variance in lease liabilities is a result of opening balance estimates at the time of preparing the budget being higher than on application of AASB 16.

Statement of changes in equity

The original budget was prepared before the 2020 final outcome could be known. As a consequence, the opening balance was estimated hence the variances is in part attributed to unanticipated movements in the prior year period balances. In addition the variance is also a result of unanticipated underspends in employee and supplier expenses reflected in the current year operating result surplus (excluding unfunded depreciation and amortisation expenses) and receipt of other revenue not budgeted for.

Cash flow statement

Variances against budget in the Cash flow statement are broadly consistent with the explanations provided for expenses. The timing of payments, particularly for suppliers, will be dependent on the receipt of the goods and services and their related invoices and so can vary between reporting periods. No budget was provided for in the Cash flow statement for the transfer of section 74 receipts to the Official Public Account.

Budget Variances Commentary

Schedule of comprehensive income

Suppliers and grants

Increase in supplier expenses reflects increased expenditure on contractors in 2020–21 to deliver community awareness and education activities, stakeholder engagement and media liaison for the national program for organ and tissue donation in Australia.

Increase in grants expenditure reflects additional expenditure on supporting and maintaining clinical currency of the national waitlisting and matching system; OrganMatch.

Other revenue

Other revenue received largely relates to unbudgeted contributions from the Department of Health for OrganMatch.

Schedule of assets and liabilities

Trade and other receivables

Variance in trade and other receivables is due to the inclusion of appropriation receivable in the budget but is not reported on the primary financial statements.

Other non-financial assets

Prepayments were higher than budget largely due to increased cost for the Electronic Donor Record software licencing and supports costs under the new contract that was not budgeted for.

Supplier and grants payables

Variance in supplier and grant payables compared to budget is a reflection of the timing of payments made to key suppliers and grant recipients at 30 June 2021.

Accounting Policy

Administered cash transfers to and from the Official Public Account

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