Section 1: Entity overview and resources

1.1 Strategic direction statement

There has been no significant change to the strategic direction of the Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) from that outlined in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2015-16 (pages 16-18).

As a result of the Administrative Arrangements Orders in September 2015 the Northern Australian Infrastructure Incentive Facility was transferred from the Treasury to the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. The Administrative Arrangements Orders also transferred responsibility for the administration of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) special account from the Treasury to the Department of the Environment.

The Treasury is seeking an additional $1.8 million in departmental funding through Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2015-16. This comprises an additional $1.2 million for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank measure and $0.7 million for the capability review of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission measure outlined in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2015-16. This additional funding is offset by a reduction of $0.1 million relating to the Public Sector Superannuation Accumulation Plan administration fees as outlined in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2014-15.

The Treasury is seeking an additional $1.4 million in administered funding through Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2015-16 to provide additional services under the Australian Small Business Advisory Service (ASBAS) programme as outlined in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2015-16.

1.2 Entity resource statement

The Entity Resource Statement details the resourcing for the Treasury at Additional Estimates. Table 1.1 outlines the total resourcing available from all sources for the 2015-16 Budget year, including variations through Appropriation Bill Nos. 3 and 4, Special Appropriations and Special Accounts.

Notes to the financial statements

Accounting policy

The Treasury's budgeted financial statements have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis having regard to statements of accounting concepts, and in accordance with:

  • the Government's financial budgeting and reporting framework; and
  • Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
Departmental and administered items

Under the Government's accrual budgeting framework, and consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, transactions that departments control (departmental transactions) are separately budgeted for, and reported on, from transactions departments do not have control over (administered transactions). This ensures that departments are only held accountable for the transactions over which they have control.
