(a) Costs of retrieval of paper files are combined with record storage costs and recorded for the Department in the Oracle accounting system under one accounting code -"Storage Charges". Because information provided by the service provider does not differentiate between the two service components, separation of the cost would require further investigation and analysis. However, the combined file retrieval services and storage costs in 2008/09 was $5 523.41
(b) As above. $4 069.07 (to April 2010).
