Finance, 1967-68 : the Treasurer's statement of the receipts and payments of the Consolidated Fund and the Trust Fund for the year ended 30th June, 1968
Overview
The form of the Report follows the arrangement introduced in the 1966–67 Report. After a general review in Part 2 of the main features of the State finances, the Report, in Parts 3, 4, and 5, deals in turn with each of the three headings of the State's public accounts, namely, the Consolidated Revenue Fund, the Loan Fund, and the Trust Fund and Special Accounts. Comments on various individual departments, branches and authorities appear in Part 6. Part 7 contains information on general matters which must be reported to Parliament under specific provisions of the Audit Act or which otherwise warrant inclusion. Supporting statements and appendices complete the Report. As required by 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 1968. The relevant figures herein are submitted on the basis that these amounts receive Parliamentary approval by the passing of the Supplementary Estimates for the year. The Treasurer's Statement and the related subsidiary statements have been checked by the Auditor-General and are in agreement with the accounts of the Treasurer.
