Department of Treasury
(a) $8 260.30
(b) $20
Economic Regulation Authority
(a) $25 920
(b) Nil
Government Employees Superannuation Board
(a)
-
Internal resources (estimate) $4 040
-Contracted resources $11 464
-Printing $2 791
(b) There were no distribution costs as copies of the report are available on GESB's website.
Insurance Commission of Western Australia
(a) Production Costs, $53,983.
(b) Distribution Costs, $50.
Note:
The significant decrease in Production Costs from the previous year ($107,195), relates to a change in the calculation of staff costs. The Insurance Commission had previously included staff costs for producing the financial statements and KPI sections, where in fact the Annual Reporting Framework states that Production Costs should exclude these sections. The report design and layout process was also streamlined this year, which enabled further reductions to Production Costs.
The report, design printing and proof reading components are effectively for 3 separate reports, i.e. the Insurance Commission of Western Australia, State Government Insurance Corporation and RiskCover.
The Insurance Commission report is probably the most complex report produced by a government agency and runs to 190 pages. By comparison, in 1998 this was around 50 pages.
In addition an executive summary publication of the Insurance Commission is printed.
Western Australian Treasury Corporation
(a) $14 666.50
(b) Nil
