(1) The Board has advised that its operational overheads are within normal parameters. Given this advice from the Board, I see little value in detailing each item within the Board's operational budget. (2) I am informed that the BCITF operational expenses for 2000/2001 are estimated to be less than 10% of forecast revenue for the financial year and represent 7.5% of actual revenue for the financial year that ended on 30 June. The Board appears to be managing overheads satisfactorily and has improved the percentage of the Fund flowing to support for training and related activities.
