Statement of cash flows

* All Estimates information is unaudited. The figures under Main Estimates 2019/20 reflect the forecasts published in Budget 2019 and in the Office's 2018/19 annual report, and the figures under Supplementary Estimates 2019/20 reflect the updated forecasts published in Budget 2020.

** The Supplementary Estimates included allowance for a capital injection of $15 million to fund potential deficits on audit fees arising from the effects of Covid-19. This allowance was forecast at the maximum possible effect on audit fees but was ultimately not required.

1: The Statement of cash flows does not include the contracted audit service provider audit fee revenue or expense, as these do not involve any cash transactions with the Office.

2: The GST component of operating activities reflects the net GST paid to and received from the Inland Revenue Department. GST has been presented on a net basis, as the gross amounts do not provide meaningful information for financial statement purposes.
