Section 5: Budgeted financial statements
5.1 Analysis of budgeted financial statements
The budgeted financial statements will form the basis of the financial statements that will appear in the Productivity Commission’s (the Commission) 2007-08 Annual Report and form the basis for the input into the Whole of Government Accounts. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.
The budgeted financial statements contain estimates prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Government’s financial budgeting and reporting framework, including the principles of Australian Accounting Standards and Statements of Accounting Concepts, as well as specific guidelines issued by the Department of Finance and Administration.
Budgeted departmental financial statements
The Commission is budgeting for a break even operating result in 2007-08 and the forward estimate years. The increase in revenue in 2007-08 is primarily a consequence of the 2007-08 Budget measure – refer Table 2.2. There is a corresponding increase in operating expenses.
