INITIAL DETERMINATION TO ESTABLISH COMPONENTS OF THE RESERVED MONEY FUND
Whereas subitems (2), (3), (4) and (5) of Clause 4 of Schedule 4 to the Audit (Transitional and Miscellaneous) Amendment Act 1997 provide for money in an account in the old Trust Fund established under the Audit Act 1901, and existing immediately before the commencement of Schedule 4, to be transferred to a component of the Reserved Money Fund or Commercial Activities Fund, as appropriate, established for the purpose,
I, Graham Millar, Branch Manager, Government Accounts, pursuant to powers delegated to me by the Finance Chief Executive under section 53 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997, determine, for the purposes of section 20 of the Act, that the Reserves set out in the first column of the attached Schedule be established as components of the Reserved Money Fund.
I further determine that:
(a) amounts of the following kinds may be transferred from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to a relevant component:
· Money that is held in trust for, or otherwise for the benefit of, a person other than the Commonwealth.
· All money appropriated by law for the purpose of payment into the relevant component.
· All money received in consideration for any service, benefit, activity, transaction or other matter which is congruent with the expenditure purposes of the relevant component.
· All money paid to the Commonwealth by any person for the expenditure purposes of the relevant component; and,
(b) the purposes for which amounts may be debited to each component are as specified in the second column of the attached Schedule.
