Finance, 1964-65: The Treasurer's statement of the receipts and payments of the Consolidated Fund and the Trust Fund for the year ended 30th June, 1965
Overview
In conformity with the provisions of Section 46 of the Audit Act, the Treasurer has included and distinguished in his Statement of the 'expenditure of the Consolidated Revenue' for the year such amounts as had been expended but in respect of which no appropriation had been made on or before 30 June 1965. It follows that the relevant figures herein are submitted on the basis that in the near future Parliamentary approval of these amounts will be signified by the passing of the Supplementary Estimates for the year. The Treasurer's Statement and the related subsidiary statements have been checked by my officers and are in agreement with the accounts of the Treasurer. This report is arranged to present a review of the Treasurer's accounts for the year, followed, under appropriate headings, by the more detailed information and explanations necessary to comply with statutory requirements. The Auditor-General's comments upon the accounts of the several major public authorities which the Office is required by law to audit will be furnished in a supplementary report which is now in course of preparation.
