Petition-Out of order
Turner, block 1 section 3-Proposed sale-Ms Tucker (100 residents).MR MOORE (Minister for Health, Housing and Community Care): I present the following papers:
Annual Reports (Government Agencies) Act, pursuant to section 14-
Department of Treasury and Infrastructure-Report for 1999-2000-Revised Volume 2.
Chief Minister's Department-Report for 1999-2000-Volume 2-Erratum to the financial statements.
Kingston Foreshore Development Authority-Report for 1999-2000.
I ask for leave to make a brief statement in relation to the papers.
Leave granted.
MR MOORE: Publication errors have been identified in the financial statements for the Chief Minister's Department and the Department of Treasury and Infrastructure. The erratum to the Chief Minister's Department report concerns the InTACT Group financial statements. Volume 2 of the Department of Treasury and Infrastructure report included publication errors in some of the statements, and a replacement volume has been presented.
The department's audited accounts include errors in note 11.11, "Waivers". The errors are clerical and do not affect the amounts of revenue collected in the accounts. Under the Rates and Land Tax Act, an amount of $1,691 was waived, which has been incorrectly recorded as $1.691 million. Under section 65(1) of the Financial Management Act 1996, an amount of $33.258 million has been waived, not $51.744 million. The incorrect amount is due to a manual error in data entry in the compilation of statistics for the annual report.
Mr Humphries, as I understand it, wrote to the Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration about the errors prior to the annual report hearings on 10 November 2000.
