APPENDIX 1—FINANCIAL RESULTS

Financial results commentary

The ANAO’s operations are largely funded through parliamentary appropriations. Revenue is also received from the provision of audit-related services, rental income, grant funding and other miscellaneous sources, which, under an arrangement pursuant to section 31 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997, is accounted for as agency revenue and retained for use by the ANAO.

In accordance with section 14 of the Auditor-General Act 1997, we charge fees for the audits of financial statements of Commonwealth authorities and companies. The revenue received is accounted as administered funds and paid directly into Consolidated Revenue.

Overview of financial performance

Our operating surplus of $4.699 million for the year ending 30 June 2011 (compared to the surplus of $4.353 million in 2009–10) is the result of a 2 per cent increase in revenues and a 1 per cent increase in expenses. The ANAO has continued to strengthen its balance sheet through active management of expenses. The office continues to have sufficient assets to meet ongoing liabilities and commitments.

Table A1.1 summarises our financial position.
