FINANCIAL RESULT

The ABCC recorded an operating surplus of $4.150 million for 2011-12. The operating surplus reflects the full 2011-12 year departmental appropriation of the ABCC which is required to be treated as revenue in the ABCC financial statements as required by Australian Accounting Standards and the Finance Minister’s Orders (FMOs).

Accordingly, the actual surplus for the 11 months to 31 May 2012 was considerably less.

Refer to part 4 of this report for the ABCC financial statements.

Table 3.1 summarises the total resources in comparison to the total payments made during the year.
