2003/04 Annual Service Plan Report
Ministry of Management Services
Report on Resources
Introduction/comments
As a shared services organization, much of the Ministry of Management Services operates on a cost-recovery basis. The majority of the ministry's branches receive a voted appropriation of only $1,000. This "$1,000 vote structure" means that at the end of the fiscal year, expenditures must not exceed recoveries by more than $1,000. As a result, the voted appropriation is a relatively small portion of the ministry's total expenditures. For fiscal year 2003/04 the ministry had an FTE staff allocation of 1,727.
