Notes to the Non-Departmental Financial Schedules

1. Statement of Accounting Policies

Reporting Entity

These Non-Departmental schedules and statements present financial information on public funds managed by the Department of Internal Affairs (the Department) on behalf of the Crown.

These Non-Departmental balances are consolidated into the Financial Statements of the Government for the year ended 30 June 2013. For a full understanding of the Crown’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the year, reference should also be made to the consolidated Financial Statements of the Government.

Basis of Preparation

The Non-Departmental schedules have been prepared in accordance with the Government’s accounting policies as set out in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Government, and in accordance with relevant Treasury Instructions and Treasury circulars.

Measurement and recognition rules applied in the preparation of these Non-Departmental schedules and statements are consistent with New Zealand generally accepted accounting practice as appropriate for public benefit entities.

The accrual basis of accounting has been used unless otherwise stated.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Budget Figures

The budget figures are those presented in the Budget Estimates of Appropriation (Main Est) for the Department.

The Supplementary Estimates (Supp Est) figures incorporate the Department’s full year estimates. The budgets also include other amendments made through the course of the Supplementary Estimates process.

Comparatives

When presentation or, classifications of items in the financial schedules are amended, or accounting policies are changed voluntarily, comparative figures are restated to ensure consistency with the current period unless it is impracticable to do so.

Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of the Department is New Zealand dollars. The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000).

Significant Accounting Policies

The following particular accounting policies have been applied:

Revenue

Revenues from the supply of services are recognised when earned in the Non-Departmental Schedule of Revenue on a straight-line-basis over the specified period for the services.

Donation Revenue

When a heritage collection asset is acquired by donation or legal deposit for nil or nominal consideration, the fair value of the asset received is recognised as revenue in the Non-Departmental Schedule of Revenue.

Expenses

Grants

Discretionary grants are only recognised when a constructive obligation exists. This is deemed to occur both when the grant has been approved and the approval has been communicated to the recipient. Non-discretionary grants are recognised when specified criteria have been fulfilled and notice has been given to the Department.

Cash

Cash includes cash in transit and bank accounts.

Debtors and Other Receivables

Accounts receivable have been designated as debtors and other receivables. Debtors and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Debtors and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Debtors and other receivables entered into with duration of less than 12 months are recognised at their nominal value. At each balance date, the Department assesses whether there is any objective evidence that any loans and receivables are impaired. Any impairment losses are recognised in the Non-Departmental Schedule of Expenses.

Shares

Where the Department holds a non-controlling minority interest, the shares are valued at cost in the financial statements. Associates are entities in which the Department has significant influence, but not control over their operating and financial policies. In the Department’s financial statements, the Crown investment in associates has been valued by the equity method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Disposal

Realised gains and losses arising from disposal of land and property are recognised in the Non-Departmental Schedule of Revenue and Expenditure in the period in which the transaction occurs.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of land and property are reviewed at least annually to determine if there is any indication of impairment. Where an asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, it will be reported at its recoverable amount and an impairment loss will be recognised. Losses resulting from impairment are reported in the Schedule of Revenue and Expenditure, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in which case any impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Revaluations

Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the value of land and buildings are recognised as at balance date. To the extent that a gain reverses a loss previously charged to the Schedule of Revenue and Expenditure for the asset class, the gain is credited to the Schedule of Revenue and Expenditure. Otherwise, gains are credited to an asset revaluation reserve for that class of asset. To the extent that there is a balance in the asset revaluation reserve for the asset class any loss is debited to the reserve. Otherwise, losses are reported in the Schedule of Revenue and Expenditure.

Accumulated depreciation at revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount so that the carrying amount after revaluation equals the revalued amount.

Specific Asset Class Policies

The asset class specific policies are described below.

Land and Buildings

Land and buildings are revalued at least every five years or whenever the carrying amount differs materially to fair value.

Revaluations are carried out for land and buildings to reflect the service potential or economic benefit obtained through control of these assets. Land and buildings are recorded at fair value less impairment losses and, for buildings, less depreciation accumulated since the assets were last revalued. Valuations are undertaken in accordance with the standards issued by the New Zealand Property Institute.

Depreciation on buildings is charged on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of an item of property, less any estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives for buildings range from 10 to 50 years. Depreciation is not charged on land.

Alexander Turnbull Library Heritage Collections

Section 11 of the National Library of New Zealand (Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa) Act 2003 requires the Crown to own the collections held in the Alexander Turnbull Library in perpetuity.

The Alexander Turnbull Library Heritage Collections are measured at fair value. Due to the unique nature of the Heritage Collections it is not always practical or possible to obtain a market valuation. In these circumstances collections have been adjusted by the movement in the Consumer Price Index to better reflect their current value. There are also difficulties associated with obtaining an objective valuation for the specified cultural and heritage assets.

The carrying value includes the value of purchases for the collections since the last revaluation and the value of material received through donations and legal deposits.

A valuation is performed every three years. The collections are not depreciated.

National Archives Collection

Non-exceptional National Archives Collection items are revalued every three years using a methodology that divided the collection into categories by format and age, to associate records that together could be said to have a broad commonality of value. Benchmark valuations were obtained from an independent valuer through market assessments and from other collections of a similar nature to government archives. Accessions since the date of valuation are valued on the basis of these benchmarks.

Independent valuations of other exceptional items, including the Treaty of Waitangi, are conducted every three years and are based on market assessments from similar nature collections.

The valuation of the National Archives Collection includes only public archives in the possession of Archives New Zealand. Public archives held in other approved repositories do not form part of the valuation.

The collection is not depreciated.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities entered into with duration of less than 12 months are recognised at their nominal value.

Other Liabilities and Provisions

Other liabilities and provisions are recorded at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. Liabilities and provisions to be settled beyond 12 months are recorded at their present value.

The balance of provisions represents the estimated value of future benefits payable to former Governors-General and former Prime Ministers over their expected lives payable under the Governors-General Act 2010 and the Civil List Act 1979.

Commitments

Operating and capital commitments arising from non-cancellable contractual or statutory obligations are disclosed within the Schedule of Commitments to the extent that both parties have not performed their obligations.

Contingent Assets and Liabilities

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are recorded in the Schedule of Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities at the point at which the contingency is evident. Contingent assets are disclosed if it is probable that the benefits will be realised. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possibility that they will crystallise.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Amounts in the financial statements, including appropriation schedules, are reported exclusive of GST except for receivables and payables, which are stated on a GST-inclusive basis. In accordance with Treasury Instructions, GST is returned on revenue received on behalf of the Crown where applicable. However, an input tax deduction is not claimed on non-departmental expenditure. Instead, the amount of GST applicable to non-departmental expenditure is recognised as a separate expense and eliminated against GST revenue on consolidation of the Financial Statements of the Government.

1,796	Current Loan to Charities Commision	–
2,139	Total Debtors and Other Receivables	259

The carrying value of receivables approximates their fair value.

3. Shares

Local Government Funding Agency

The Crown holds $5.000m of the $25.000m paid-up capital of the Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA). The shares have been valued by the equity method as, although the Crown does not have direct representation on the LGFA Board of Directors, it may solely appoint, remove and replace one member of the Shareholders’ Council. The Shareholders’ Council makes recommendations to Shareholders as to the appointment, removal, re-election, replacement and remuneration of Directors. The share value has therefore been adjusted to reflect the Crown’s share of any changes in the net assets of the LGFA.

LGFA Net Assets at 30 June 2013 were $23.436m (2012: $20.757m). The Crown’s share of the net assets is $4.687m (2012: $4.151m).

The summarised financial information of LGFA is:

(4,243)	Surplus/(Deficit)	2,678

The above figures are unaudited.

The Crown is not a guarantor of the LGFA and has no share of any contingent liabilities of the LGFA.

5. Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in each of the NZ IAS 39 categories are as follows:

Financial Instruments

ACTUAL 2012 $000		ACTUAL 2013 $000
Financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
4,151	Shares	4,687
4,151	Total Financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss	4,687
Loans and Receivables

Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortised Cost
110,207	Creditors and Other Payables	6,856
110,207	Total Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortised Cost	6,856

The Department is party to financial instrument arrangements as part of its daily operations. These include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and provisions, accrued expenses, term accrued expenses and foreign currency forward contracts.

The Department’s activities expose it to a variety of financial instrument risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Department has a series of policies to manage the risks associated with financial instruments and seeks to minimise exposure from financial instruments. These policies do not allow any transactions that are speculative in nature to be entered into.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a third party will default on its obligations, causing a loss to be incurred. Credit risk arises from debtors and deposits with banks. Funds must be deposited with Westpac, a registered bank.

Credit evaluations are undertaken on customers requiring credit. Collateral or other security is not generally required to support financial instruments with credit risk. Other than cash and bank balances and trade receivables, the Department does not have any significant credit risk.

Maximum Exposures to Credit Risk

ACTUAL 2012 $000		ACTUAL 2013 $000
139,749	Cash and Cash Equivalents	26,115
343	Accounts Receivable	259
4,151	Investment in Local Government Funding Agency	4,687
144,243	Total Exposure to Credit Risk	31,061

Cash and cash equivalents excludes any cash physically held including as petty cash as cash is not exposed to credit risk.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Department will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due.

In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Department closely monitors its forecast cash requirements with expected draw downs from the New Zealand Debt Management Office. The Department maintains a target level of available cash to meet liquidity requirements.

The table below analyses the Department’s financial liabilities that will be settled based on the remaining period at balance date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

–	Accrued Heritage Collection Purchases	379
110,207	Total Debtors and Other Receivables	6,856

The carrying value of creditors and other payables approximates their fair value. Other payables and Accrued Heritage Collection purchases are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 day terms and Accrued Canterbury Earthquake expenses are expected to be settled through the course of 2012/13.

7. Provisions

The balance of the provisions account represents the estimated value of future benefits payable to Former Governors-General and Prime Ministers over their expected lives payable under the Civil List Act as at balance date.

Actuarial services were provided by Mercer Human Resource Consulting Ltd and were prepared by Mark Channon, Fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries.

The measurement of the estimated future benefits depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Two key assumptions used in calculating this liability include the discount rate and the consumer price index. Any changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying value of the liability.

	2012	2013
Discount Rate	3.58%	3.91%
Consumer Price Index	2.50%	2.50%

9. Explanation of Significant Variances against Budget

Variance between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates

Non-Departmental Appropriations

The significant variances for Appropriated Expenditure are explained below:

Charities – Administration

The decrease in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $5.066m was due to the transfer of the Charities Commission functions to an operational unit within the Department from 1 July 2012.

Rates Rebate Scheme

The decrease in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $5.000m reflects the forecast take up of the scheme.

Chatham Islands Council

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $2.141m was due to an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 for the Chatham Islands Solid Waste Management.

Community Development Scheme

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $459,000 was due to an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to delays in the development of Community-Led initiatives (increase of $614,000), and was partially offset by an expense transfer from 2012/13 to 2013/14 to reflect the expected timing of the implementation of specific projects within the Community-Led initiatives (decrease of $155,000).

Community Internship Programme

The decrease in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $100,000 was due to a transfer of funding to the non-departmental appropriation, Support for Volunteering, to reflect a reprioritisation of funding to align with government priorities.

Crown-owned Assets at Lake Taupo – Maintenance Costs

The decrease in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $645,000 was due to an expense transfer from 2012/13 to 2013/14 due to delays in the completion of the multi-year programme to remedy deferred maintenance of the Crown-owned assets at Lake Taupo (decrease of $2.100m). This was partially offset by an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 for Lake Taupo maintenance costs (increase of $1.455m).

Debt Write-down

This appropriation of $13,000 was created between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates due to a write-down of unrecoverable non-departmental debts relating to the Community Organisation Grants Scheme.

Emergency Expenses

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $11.875m was due to reimbursement of Christchurch City Council’s response costs for the Canterbury Earthquakes (September 2010, February 2011, June 2011 and December 2011) (increase of $8.340m), and expense transfers from 2011/12 to 2012/13 to reimburse local authorities for response and recovery costs incurred as a result of the 2012 Nelson-Tasman flood events (increase of $2.000m) and to provide assistance to Environment Bay of Plenty for hazard mitigation work (increase of $1.535m).

Executive Council and Members of the Executive – Salaries and Allowances PLA

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $240,000 was due to an increase in costs pursuant to the Parliamentary Salaries and Allowances Determination 2012.

February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake National Controller Costs

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $281,000 was due to an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 for the costs incurred at the discretion of the National Controller Civil Defence for response costs after 21 March 2011 as part of the response to the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.

Former Governors-General – Annuities and Other Payments PLA

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $21,000 was due to an increase in costs based on forecast demand.

Former Prime Ministers – Annuities PLA

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $8,000 was due to the forecast increase in costs pursuant to the Parliamentary Annuities Determination 2013.

Pike River Royal Commission of Inquiry – Legal representation and assistance

The decrease in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $520,000 due to a reduction in funding resulting from the completion of the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy (decrease of $670,000), and was partially offset by an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 due to the deferral of some of the work programme to 2012/13 and the extended timeframe for the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy (increase of $150,000).

Public Inquiries

The budget did not change between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates however there was a reduction in funding due to the completion of the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy and the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Building Failure caused by Canterbury Earthquakes (decrease of $275,000), and was totally offset by expense transfers from 2011/12 to 2012/13 for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Building Failure caused by Canterbury Earthquakes (increase of $225,000) and the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Pike River Coal Mine Tragedy (increase of $50,000).

Support for Volunteering

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $100,000 was due to a transfer of funding from the non-departmental appropriation, Community Internship Programme, to reflect a reprioritisation of funding to align with government priorities.

Te Oneroa a Tōhē Beach Management

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates of $100,000 was due to an expense transfer from 2011/12 to 2012/13 for the development of the Te Hiku Beach Management Plan.

Schedule of Non-Departmental Assets and Liabilities

The significant variances within the Schedule of Non-Departmental Assets and Liabilities are explained below:

The increase in the budget between the Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates reflects the closing balances as at 30 June 2012.

Variance between the Actual 2012/13 and the Supplementary Estimates

Actual expenditure was 2.6 per cent lower than the Supplementary Estimates. The overall under-expenditure of $3.175m is primarily attributable to the following factors as outlined in the Vote commentary below.

Non-Departmental Appropriations

Chatham Islands Council

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.987m mainly due to delays in the Chatham Islands Solid Waste Management programme, for which an in-principle expense transfer up to a maximum of $1.050m to 2013/14 was approved.

Community Development Scheme

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.857m mainly due to delays in the implementation of specific projects in the community-led initiatives, for which an in-principle expense transfer up to a maximum of $1m to 2013/14 was approved.

Community Internship Programme

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.084m mainly due to lower than anticipated demand for development grants.

Emergency Expenses

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $3.035m mainly due to lower than expected level of response claims. In-principle expense transfers to 2013/14 were approved for the Response and Recovery for flooding in the Nelson-Tasman Region for up to a maximum of $2.000m and the Governments’ contribution towards Environment Bay of Plenty for hazard mitigation works for up to a maximum of $0.627m.

February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake National Controller Costs

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.240m mainly due to lower than anticipated costs incurred at the discretion of the National Controller Civil Defence for response costs after 21 March 2011 as part of the response to the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. An in-principle expense transfer for up to a maximum of $0.265m was approved.

Former Prime Ministers – Annuities (PLA)

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.009m mainly due to lower than anticipated increase in annuity as advised by Remuneration Authority.

Former Prime Ministers – Domestic Travel

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.127m mainly due to lower than anticipated demand for travel.

Miscellaneous Grants – Internal Affairs

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.040m mainly due to lower than anticipated demand for grants.

Pike River Royal Commission of Inquiry – Legal representation and assistance

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.039m mainly due to lower than anticipated costs for legal representation.

Subsidies to Local Government

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.097m mainly due to lower than anticipated level of claims for emergency management preparation through Resilience Fund. An in-principle expense transfer for up to a maximum of $0.045m to 2013/14 was approved.

Te Oneroa a Tohe Beach Management

Actual expenditure was lower than Supplementary Estimates by $0.400m mainly due to delays in closure of settlement negotiations between the Crown and Te Hiku. An in-principle expense transfer for up to a maximum of $0.400m to 2013/14 was approved.

Schedule of Non-Departmental Revenue

Actual revenue was higher than Supplementary Estimates primarily reflecting the value of accessions of documents received by National Archives during 2012/13.

Schedule of Non-Departmental Assets and Liabilities

The actual cash balance as at 30 June 2013 was $8.847m lower than Supplementary Estimates, primarily due to the high level of grants paid during the year.

11. Emergency Expenditure for Canterbury Earthquakes

The Canterbury region was significantly affected by two major earthquakes and a number of aftershocks during the 2010/11 and 2011/12 financial years, resulting in significant damage to property and infrastructure. The two major earthquakes were a magnitude 7.1 on 4 September 2010 and a magnitude 6.3 on 22 February 2011. Significant aftershocks that caused further damage occurred on 26 December 2010 and on 13 June 2011.

These Non-Departmental financial statements include expenses incurred in relation to these earthquakes, under Non-Departmental Other Expenses in Vote Emergency Management.

National Controller Direct Response Expenses

Following the 22 February earthquake, and declaration of a State of National Emergency, the National Controller incurred necessary expenses in response to the emergency during 2010/11. These included expenses for freighting in emergency supplies and teams, chemical toilets, emergency fences and specialist equipment. The bulk of this expenditure was approved when the Minister of Finance invoked Section 25 of the Public Finance Act 1989 (expenses may be incurred in emergencies) immediately following the February earthquake.

National Controller Direct Response Expenses incurred in 2012/13 totalling $0.041m (2011/12: $0.362m, 2010/11: $3.324m) have arisen as a result of claims against the Crown for actions incurred during the State of National Emergency.

Local Authorities’ Response and Recovery Expenses

Under current Government policy settings, outlined in the National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan (‘the Plan’) and Guide to the National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan[109] (‘the Guide’), the four affected Canterbury local authorities will be reimbursed, in whole or part, for certain types of response and recovery costs incurred as a result of the earthquakes. Under the Plan and the Guide, primary responsibility for managing these claims rests with the Department.

The Government provided an indemnity in favour of the four affected Canterbury authorities under 65ZD of the Public Finance Act 1989 for these costs. The indemnity formalises the implicit guarantee under the Guide.

In March 2012 the indemnity was extended to include CERA for recovery costs, along with transfer of the responsibility for assessment and management of these claims. The indemnity enables both the Department and CERA to recognise their respective obligations in respect of response and recovery costs without further appropriation.

The Department has therefore not recorded any liability for recovery costs at 30 June 2012.

Response Costs – Four Affected Canterbury Authorities

Under the Guide the standard financial support policy is for the Government to:

• fully reimburse response costs associated with caring for displaced people; and
• reimburse 60% of response costs associated with precautionary measures to reduce immediate danger and temporary repairs to essential infrastructure.

The Government subsequently decided to fully reimburse Christchurch City Council for costs associated with temporary repairs to essential infrastructure because of the earthquakes.

Response Costs – Other Councils Assisting

The Government has also agreed to reimburse costs totalling $0.035m for other councils that provided assistance to the four affected Canterbury authorities in the immediate aftermath of the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes. The other Councils assisting were reimbursed for travel, accommodation, food and minor incidental costs for staff and volunteers who provided on-the-ground support during the immediate post-quake response periods.

Recovery Costs

Recovery costs shown by the Department are those that were settled with the affected Councils prior to transfer of responsibility to CERA. Following transfer of responsibility for the recovery cost claims process to CERA, the Department no longer records any liability for recovery cost claims.

Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Fund:

This trust was established by Government as a result of the Canterbury Earthquake of 22 February 2011. It is a registered charity and administers donations and grants made to affected people in Canterbury.

New Zealand 1990 Scholarships:

The New Zealand 1990 Scholarship Trust was established to provide scholarships for top overall students in University Bursaries examinations.

Interloans Billing System Fund:

Schedule of Trust Money

The schedule shows the opening and closing trust balances including bank and investments at cost, and the movements during the year.

Under the Public Finance Act 1989, and by delegation from the Secretary to The Treasury, trust money can only be invested on deposit with New Zealand registered banks or in New Zealand government stock. Trust money is also managed so there is no significant concentration of credit risk. Interest rate risk is managed by investing across a wide range of maturity dates, but subject to liquidity requirements.

These figures are subject to audit.
