Definitions

Agency

An agency is an administrative unit created under the Public Sector Act 2009 or a statutory authority that is accountable for the delivery of programs on behalf of the government.

Programs and sub-programs

A program is a group of related activities that contribute to achieving one of an agency’s and, in turn, the government’s objectives. Many programs are further divided into sub-programs with more specific objectives.

Overview

The agency statements outline projected agency activity and performance for 2012–13. Each agency statement conforms to the following standard presentation structure:

Objective — outlines the agency’s objectives

Ministerial responsibilities — identifies the minister responsible for each program/sub-program and identifies any items administered by the agency on behalf of the minister(s)

Ministerial office resources — details the resources provided to ministerial office(s)

Workforce summary — summarises the agency’s workforce

Program net cost of services summary — summarises the net cost of agency programs

Investing expenditure summary — summarises investing expenditure for the agency

Program/sub-program information — for each agency program/sub-program, provides a description/objective, program summary (expenses, income and full-time equivalents), financial commentary, highlights and targets, performance and activity indicators

Financial statements — budgeted financial statements for controlled and administered items

Summary of major variations — commentary on variances and trends in the financial statements.

Presentation of changes in program structures

Where a program or function is transferred between agencies, program information for previous years is reflected in the current program structure of the receiving agency.

In contrast, the agency financial statements line ‘net cost of providing services’ in the statement of comprehensive income is based on the actual program structure for the agency as it operated or is expected to operate in each year. This distinction in treatment is drawn so that financial statements accurately reflect events while, at the same time, program information is comparable and not duplicated.

Reconciliation of the financial statements to the current program structure is contained in the program net cost of services summary located at the beginning of each relevant agency section.

Introduction


Financial statements

The estimated financial statements included in the 2012−13 Agency Statements are special purpose financial statements and include, for each agency, a statement of comprehensive income, a statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared:

on a basis that is consistent with Australian Accounting Standards (Australian Accounting Standards and/or interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted early)

on an accrual basis, except for the statement of cash flows which has been derived from the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position to reflect cash payments and receipts

using historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities that are valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, estimated transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to estimated transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Pursuant to Section 98H(1) of the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986, a medical panel must form its opinion on medical questions referred within 60 days after the reference is made or such longer period as may be agreed by the WorkCover Corporation of South Australia or the Workers Compensation Tribunal (as the case requires).

60 55 60 71

At the time of preparation of the 2011–12 Budget there was no expenditure budgeted for this sub-program as the Auditor-General was not requested to undertake any work other than the audit work to be undertaken annually for agencies where the Auditor-General is the prescribed auditor (Sub program 1.1 ‘Prescribed audits’).

In 2011–12, in compliance with section 39(3f) of the Passenger Transport Act 1994, the Auditor-General was required to examine and report to the parliament on the probity of the processes leading up to the awarding of service contracts.

The Adelaide Oval Redevelopment and Management Act 2011 was proclaimed in late 2011 and places an obligation of the Auditor-General to examine and report to the parliament at six monthly intervals on the progress of construction of the Adelaide Oval redevelopment and other matters. Funding of $50 000 was provided in 2011–12 and $70 000 is provided in 2012–13 to conduct that work.

Annual programs






Program 1: Rehabilitation and Reparation


The objectives of this program are to rehabilitate prisoners and offenders by providing an appropriate range of offender related and offence specific programs that address the causes and consequences of offending and enable some reparation to the community for offences committed.

Programs provided address offending behaviour and factors related to social disadvantage such as levels of education, homelessness and unemployment. There is a particular focus on activities related to restoring and healing the effects of crime and engaging and providing support services for victims of crime.

Prisoners are able to undertake work to learn new skills to increase their employment opportunities and to provide some compensation to the community for the offences they have committed.

Offenders sentenced to a community service order also undertake reparation tasks to benefit the community (refer to Program 3 ‘Community Based Services’ for more detail).

The South Australian community benefits through a reduction in the rate of re-offending and an associated reduction in the economic and social cost of crime.

Program 3: Community Based Services


The objective of the Community Based Services program is to supervise offenders in a community-based setting as required by an order of the court or Parole Board.

Community-based supervision of offenders is an important part of correctional service delivery. The department’s community-based services include home detention, bail supervision, intensive bail supervision, parole and probation services, community services and the preparation of court reports.

The community benefits from community based penalties as they provide an effective and appropriate environment in which an offender is subject to supervision but is otherwise able to live within the community.

Expenses

The $5.4 million increase in expenses is primarily due to costs associated with growth in prisoner numbers at Port Augusta Prison and Yatala Labour Prison ($5.4 million).

Income




an increase in non-current assets of $34.9 million largely reflecting the upgrade of the Northfield prisons and the progression of works on the Mount Gambier cell block

partially offset by

a reduction in the cash balance ($2.2 million).


The movements in cash outflows and inflows are consistent with the changes discussed above under the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position.


The $0.1 million increase in expenses is due to the transfer of Minister Rankine’s salary to the Department for Correctional Services from October 2011.


The movements in cash outflows and inflows are consistent with the changes discussed above under the statement of comprehensive income.

These programs include:

Drug Court ― a pre-sentencing alternative to a custodial sentence providing a 12 month supervised treatment and rehabilitation program for defendants with substance dependence related offences

Mental Impairment Court (Magistrates Court Diversion program) ― diverts individuals with a mental impairment into treatment and rehabilitation which provides the opportunity for less punitive sentencing options

Six-Month Drug Treatment program ― provides an option for substance abusers who are not suitable for the Drug Court because they are not facing a term of imprisonment of 12 months or longer

Courts


Treatment Intervention program ― aims to improve the identification and management of defendants with mental health and/or substance abuse issues to improve outcomes in reducing recidivism and improve health

The $0.9 million increase in expenses is primarily due to the implementation of the Abuse Prevention program and the establishment of other intervention programs during 2011–12.


The Abuse Prevention program has been operating for nine months. It is the first program where defendants are mandated to attend. The program includes a men’s behaviour change group which is delivered by the Department for Correctional Services. There are 56 men currently attending the groups.

The Treatment Intervention program replaced the Magistrates Court Diversion program at Christies Beach, Elizabeth, Adelaide Magistrates Court and the Youth Court.

Targets 2012–13

Expand the Treatment Intervention program to the remaining metropolitan courts, Whyalla, Port Augusta and Port Pirie.

Increase the number of referrals to the Abuse Prevention program in the metropolitan area and increase the number of men participating in the men’s behaviour change group.

Expand the Abuse Prevention program to Whyalla, Port Augusta and Port Pirie.

Program 1: Early Childhood Development


The department is responsible for the delivery of integrated quality child development, education, care, protection and wellbeing services for children, young people and families. This focus recognises and builds upon the importance of relationships with families to support every child to grow, learn and develop. The program recognises the importance of the parent’s role in their child’s development. The implementation of national and state early childhood reform agendas to improve outcomes for all South Australian children and families underpins the program.

There is a special focus on ensuring that the most vulnerable children and young people at risk of disadvantage are supported. The establishment of children’s centres across the state in areas of highest need, the expansion of access to preschool for all four-year olds, continued collaboration across agencies and the delivery of targeted family support programs contribute to achieving this goal. The provision of early childhood and care services that are accessible, integrated and build effective relationships with children and families is at the core of the program.

Program 3: Care and Protection

Through its Families SA division, the department has a particular focus on ensuring that the most vulnerable children and young people at risk of abuse, neglect or disadvantage are supported. This is done through promoting children’s welfare as well as advocating for treatment and support services for vulnerable families to protect children from harm and to keep them safe.

This is a significant responsibility, which DECD undertakes in partnership with families, other government partners, the non-government sector and communities.

The department provides family support and child safety responses to vulnerable families involved in the child protection system to address children’s safety, risk and harm, and to build parents’ capacity to safely care for their children. DECD is a strong advocate for across government and non-government services which are flexible and responsive to the needs of vulnerable families.

Where children and young people are not able to remain safely in the care of their birth family, DECD provides alternative care services, case management and support for children and young people under the Guardianship of the Minister.

The department also offers services to support unaccompanied humanitarian minors of refugee background as well as adoption and post care services. A range of financial support services for clients involved in care and protection and post guardianship services are provided.

The department is committed to reconciliation and providing culturally appropriate services. Services are provided to Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities with the objective of strengthening capacity and reducing over representation of Aboriginal children and young people in our care and protection system. This includes a strong commitment to working in partnership with Aboriginal communities.

Accounting standards

The financial statements included in the 2012–13 Agency Statements are special purpose financial statements.

Estimates in these financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with:

Australian Accounting Standards, except where these notes indicate otherwise

accounting policies expected to be used in preparing historically orientated general purpose financial statements for that year, and the same accounting policies have been used for the subsequent forecast years (forward estimates).

Reporting entities

The financial statements include all estimated assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of individual agencies.

Consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, estimated transactions and balances that are controlled are budgeted for, and reported on, separately to estimated transactions and balances which are administered but not controlled by the agency.

Activities that are ‘controlled’ are those where the agency delivers services and governs the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from these activities and assets in the pursuit of its objectives.

Generally, activities that are ‘administered’ on behalf of the government exist where an agency has no discretion to alter the resources provided or determine how they are spent.

Basis of accounting and measurement

The estimated financial statements include a statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and a statement of cash flows.

The format of these estimated financial statements is consistent with the model financial statements (prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance for statutory reporting requirements) and is consistent with the requirements of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of the estimated financial statements whereby estimated assets, liabilities, equity, incomes and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.


Assets

Most government assets are valued at their written-down current cost. Otherwise agencies adopt one of the following measurement bases:

market/fair value — the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s length transaction (in many cases agencies use written-down current cost as a proxy for fair value)

net market value — the market value after deducting costs expected to be incurred were the asset to be exchanged

current cost — the lowest cost at which the gross service potential of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of operations.

All non-current tangible assets, with a cost of acquisition greater than $1.0 million and a useful life of more than three years, are required to be valued at fair value unless excluded from the scope of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and/or an alternative valuation is specified by another accounting standard.

All intangible assets are measured at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

All non-current assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. The most common method used for calculating depreciation expense is the straight line method.

Certain heritage assets have very long and indeterminate useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period. As such, no amount for depreciation has been recognised in respect of those assets.

Assets acquired under finance leases are amortised over the period during which the government is expected to benefit from use of the leased asset.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits (including salaries and wages, annual leave, long service leave, sick leave and superannuation benefits) reflect those benefits accrued as a result of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Short-term employee benefits (due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employee rendered the services) are measured at a nominal amount based on the remuneration rates an agency expects to pay. Examples of short-term employee benefits include salaries and wages and annual leave.

Long-term employee benefits (not due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee rendered the service) are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. An example of a long-term employee benefit is long service leave.

Sick leave

For the majority of agencies, no liability will be recognised for sick leave.

There is no liability for non-vesting sick leave (a non-vesting entitlement is that which does not constitute a legal obligation of the employing agency until a valid claim is made by an employee or an event has occurred) if, on average, sick leave taken is less than total entitlements accruing.

Vesting sick leave entitlements are rare for state government employees.



Superannuation

For most state government controlled agencies, the Treasurer assumes the accrued superannuation liability in return for periodic payments from agencies. Therefore, unless there are contributions due but not yet paid at the reporting date, there is no superannuation liability recorded for the agency.

Two types of superannuation plans are in operation currently in the public sector: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. In a defined benefit plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to a formula based on years of membership and/or salary levels. In a defined contribution plan, a member’s entitlement is determined by reference to accumulated contributions made to the plan together with investment earnings thereon.

Under existing arrangements, the Treasurer is liable for any net deficiency in assets for the defined benefits plans. Deficits in defined benefit superannuation plans are recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position for the Treasurer. The deficits are measured as the excess of employees’ accrued benefits resulting from services up to the reporting date over the net market value of the plan’s assets as at the reporting date.

Income recognition

Wherever possible, income is recognised when the transaction or event giving rise to the income occurs. As a result, all items of income are normally reported in the statement of comprehensive income when an agency obtains control over the respective amounts. In circumstances where it is not possible to determine objectively when control over the asset passes to the agency, the amounts are recognised upon receipt.

Appropriation

The investment program requirements for agencies included in the agency statements may be funded through operating appropriation, operating receipts, the proceeds of asset sales, grants and through Commonwealth payments. Where the investment requirements of an agency are not funded from these sources, the state government funding of an agency’s investment program will generally be treated as an equity contribution from the government, as representative owner. These contributions are treated as contributions to equity rather than income in an agency.

Funds appropriated, but not required to meet current year cash outflows will be deposited with the Treasurer and will show as an asset in the agency’s statement of financial position.

Cash alignment policy

Where agencies have returned excess cash held to the Treasurer in accordance with the cash alignment policy, the payment is generally recorded as a ‘payment to government’ in the statement of comprehensive income. Some agencies have elected to repay debt or return contributed capital with excess cash balances. These transactions will be reflected in the statement of financial position.

Rounding

All estimated amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Due to rounding, there may be instances where estimated financial statements and tables do not add correctly.
