1.1	Strategic direction
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 2013‑14 (pages 15‑17).
As a result of Administrative Arrangements Orders following the 2013 election, the small business policy function transferred to the Treasury from the Department of Industry.
The Treasury is seeking an additional $7.5 million in departmental funding through Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2013‑14. This comprises an additional $11.2 million which is offset by savings of $3.7 million.

•	$0.2 million for the Financial System Inquiry measure as outlined in the Mid‑Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013‑14; and
•	$1.6 million for the transfer of the small business policy function to the Treasury from the Department of Industry.
The Treasury is seeking an additional $8.8 billion in administered items through Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2013‑14. This comprises an additional $8.8 billion which is offset by savings of $3.0 million.
The additional $8.8 billion relates to:
•	$1.0 million for the Priority consumer focused superannuation activities measure as outlined in the Pre‑Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013; 
•	$8.8 billion for Strengthening the Reserve Bank Reserve Fund as outlined in the Mid‑Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013‑14; and

There has been no change to outcomes or the outcome strategy for the Treasury from that included in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2013‑14 (pages 24‑25).
There has been no significant change to the program objective, expenses, deliverables or key performance indicators for program 1.2 and programs 1.4 to 1.10 that affect Appropriation Bills No. 3 and No. 4.
Programs 1.4 to 1.10 relate to Australia’s Federal Relations. Further details of Australia’s Federal Relations are on pages 65 to 75 of the Mid‑Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013‑14.

3	The average staffing level for 2013‑14 includes the transfer of the small business policy function to the Treasury from the Department of Industry offset by the Treasury offering voluntary redundancies.
Program 1.1: Department of the Treasury
There has been no significant change to the program objective, deliverables or key performance indicators from that included in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2013-14.
As a result of Administrative Arrangements Orders following the 2013 election, the small business policy function transferred to the Treasury from the Department of Industry. The Treasury now has responsibility for small business policy and supporting the activities of the Australian Small Business Commissioner.
The Treasury will provide a one‑off $8.8 billion grant to the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to meet its request to strengthen its financial position to the level considered appropriate by the RBA Board. The grant will ensure that the RBS is adequately resourced to conduct its monetary policy and foreign exchange operations in an environment of financial market volatility. This was outlined in the Mid‑Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013‑14.
Program Expenses
Program expenses for the small business policy function are included in departmental items and administered expenses.

Notes to the financial statements
The Treasury’s budgeted statements are prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with:
•	the Government’s financial budgeting and reporting framework; and
•	Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
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.
Departmental assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are controlled by the department. Departmental expenses include employee and supplier expenses and other administrative costs, which are incurred by the department in providing goods and services.
Administered items are revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities which are managed by the department on behalf of the Government according to set government directions. Administered expenses include subsidies, grants and personal benefit payments, and administered revenues include taxes, fines and excises.
