Note 26: Administered financial instruments (continued)
Note 26E: Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Treasury's administered financial assets is the carrying amount of 'loans and receivables' (2013: $1,730,167,000 and 2012: $2,989,864,000) and the carrying amount of 'available for sale financial assets' (2013: $16,456,446,000 and 2012: $12,165,485,000).
However, the international financial institutions that the Treasury holds its financial assets with, hold a minimum of AAA credit ratings. The contractual fee receivable arising from the Guarantee Scheme for Large Deposits and Wholesale Funding and Guarantee of State and Territory Borrowing that the Treasury holds relates only to prudentially regulated Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) and State and Territory Governments. These entities hold a minimum of AA credit ratings, therefore the Treasury does not consider any of its financial assets to be at risk of default.
| The Treasury's administered financial liabilities are: promissory notes, grant liabilities, the IMF SDR allocation and the HIH provision. The contractual guarantee service obligation arising from the guarantee scheme for large deposits and wholesale funding and State and Territory borrowing are not included as there are no liquidity risks associated wit h these items. They are contingent on the value of the associated contractual fee receivable. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that the Treasury will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with administered financial liabilities. This is highly unlikely due to appropriation funding through special appropriations and non-lapsing capital appropriations as well as internal policies and procedures put in place to ensure there are appropriate resources for the Treasury to meet its financial obligations. The following tables illustrate the maturities for financial liabilities: |

Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Treasury is exposed to foreign exchange currency risk primarily through undertaking certain transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Treasury is exposed to foreign currency denominated in USD, EUR and SDR. The following table details the effect on profit and equity as at 30 June 2013 from a 15.7 per cent (30 June 2012 from a 15 per cent) favourable/unfavourable change in AUD against the Treasury with all other variables held constant. |

The following table lists current special appropriations contained in legislation that the Treasury is responsible for administering. The Treasury process to complete the 2012-13 financial statements identified no payments (2012: 8 payments) made from the COAG Reform Fund special account that resulted in technical breaches of Section 83 of the Constitution (refer to Note 29 for more information). After reviewing the circumstances of Section 83 breaches in relation to the COAG Reform Fund special account, the Treasury considers that there is a risk of non-compliance with Section 83 of the Constitution where payments are made from special appropriations and special accounts in circumstances where the payments do not accord with conditions included in the relevant legislation. The Treasury will investigate these circumstances and any impact on its special appropriations and special accounts shown below, seeking legal advice as appropriate. |

Note 29: Compliance with Statutory Conditions for Payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund
Section 83 of the Constitution provides that no amount may be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund except under an appropriation made by law. The Department of Finance and Deregulation provided information to all agencies in 2011 regarding the need for risk assessments in relation to compliance with statutory conditions on payments from special appropriations, including special accounts.
In 2011-12, Treasury reported three groups of payments (totalling $4,320,123, total payments for all special accounts and appropriations in 2011-12 was $87,938,199,311) as potential breaches of Section 83. Based on legal advice Treasury has confirmed the payments are breaches of Section 83. Details of these breaches were published in the 2011-12 Financial Statements (Note 29). During 2012-13, Treasury developed a plan to review exposure to risks of not complying with statutory conditions on payments from appropriations. The plan involved:
- identifying each special appropriation and special account;
- determining the risk of non-compliance by assessing the difficulty of administering the statutory conditions and assessing the extent to which existing payment systems and processes satisfy those conditions;
- determining procedures to confirm risk assessments in medium risk cases and to quantify the extent of non-compliance, if any, in higher risk situations;
- obtaining legal advice as appropriate to resolve questions of potential non-compliance; and
- considering legislative or procedural changes to reduce the risk of non-compliance in the future to an acceptably low level.
Treasury identified 7 appropriations involving statutory conditions for payment, comprising:
- 6 special appropriations; and
- 1 special account.
As at 30 June 2013 this work had been completed and identified:
- no payments were made in 2012-13 without legal authority in contravention of section 83 of the Constitution; and
- amounts for which recovery or offset against a later payment has occurred is nil.
While no issues were identified, recent ANAO performance audits have included discussions of agencies' monitoring arrangements relating to the achievement of milestones or performance benchmarks specified in individual national partnership agreements (NPA). In a number of instances the audits identified that greater attention should be given to strengthening these arrangements, including mechanisms for assuring information provided by the States and Territories. As a result, there is the risk that payments made by the Treasury based on the portfolio department directions may be in contravention of the terms and conditions of the specific NPA. The legal advice received by the Treasury indicates that only payments made through the COAG Reform Fund Act 2008 may result in a breach of section 83 of the Constitution if the payments were in contravention of the terms and conditions of the NPA. Since many of the NPA's do not contain specific terms and conditions, payments would not be in breach of Section 83 of the Constitution. Nevertheless, before making payments from the COAG Reform Fund Special Account, the Treasury obtains certification from the Portfolio Departments that the requirements for payments have been met. Details about the COAG Reform Fund Special Account, including the amount paid out of the Special Account, can be found at Note 30A.
In order to address this risk, Treasury will continue to review verification procedures in consultation with Portfolio Departments in 2013-14, at the same time clarifying the risk of breach and, if necessary, investigating legal remedies to ensure that NPA payments made in good faith do not result in breaches of section 83.
During 2012-13, the Department of Finance and Deregulation received additional legal advice that indicated there could be breaches of s83 under certain circumstances with payments for long service leave, goods and services tax (GST) and payments under determinations of the Remuneration Tribunal.
Treasury has determined that there is a low risk to the certain circumstances mentioned in this legal advice applying to the department, and is not aware of any specific breaches of s83 in respect of these items.
Treasury has processes and procedures in place to ensure that payments made under determinations of the Remuneration Tribunal are made in accordance with the specific requirements under the determination. Payments made to employees under long service leave entitlements are processed in accordance with entitlement conditions. The Treasury will conduct further testing of entitlement payments in 2013-14 to verify that entitlements are not breached. GST payments to suppliers are made according to the invoices provided by suppliers, with regular reviews undertaken to ensure that the GST invoiced is calculated correctly for payment. Treasury will continue to review its current processes and controls over GST payments for these items to minimise the possibility of future breaches as a result of these payments.
