Report on Resources

The Resource Summary outlines the estimated expenditures and recoveries by core business area, as well as FTE allocations. The Executive and Support Services Division includes: the Deputy Minister's office, Strategic Communications Branch and the shared services provided by the Corporate Services Branch. The Agency is funded through three distinct sources: a voted appropriation, a direct service charge and an employee benefits chargeback. Those areas that show a $1,000 vote are supplemented by service recoveries budgeted by ministries and agencies that receive services.

The variance calculation method for the Public Accounts material has been changed to "Actual" minus "Budget" = "Variance", i.e., overspending will be without brackets and under spending in brackets (in contrast to "Budget" minus "Actual" = "Variance" as reported in past years).

Note: The variance in operating expenses is due to the estimates being based on a draft organizational structure for the new Agency. Actual expenses represent the resources required for the approved organizational structure of the Agency.
1  The "Estimated" amount corresponds to the Estimates as presented to the Legislative Assembly on February 17, 2004.
2  "Other Authorizations" include Supplementary Estimates, Statutory Appropriations and Contingencies. Amounts in this column are not related to the "estimated amount" under sections 5 (1) and 6 (1) of the Balanced Budget and Ministerial Accountability Act for ministerial accountability for operating expenses under the Act. Contingency funding accessed $3.1M for Centralized Shared Service Funding and $0.6M for the Public Service Learning Fund.
3  Variance display convention has been changed this year to be consistent with the change introduced in public accounts. Variance is in all cases "Actual" minus "Total Estimates". If the Actual is greater, then the Variance will be displayed as a positive number.

Explanations and Comments

All financial targets were achieved with a surplus of $5.041M, due to an accounting adjustment to retiring allowance liability. FTE results were on target, with seven FTE's not implemented for the year.
