(2) In preparing the budget statements and in particular the cost of services, it is required to show the appropriation provided to deliver services. In order to arrive at this calculation, an adjustment for movements in cash balances and other accrual items such as resources free of charge, receivables and payables, is accounted for. However, the agency does not have a breakdown of the individual components that make up this adjustment as it is accepted by Treasury that this is a balancing item. Details of the individual components are not required to be calculated or provided by agencies.
