PUBLIC ACCOUNTS - STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Monitoring of Budget Supplementation - Government Response
Debate resumed from 9 December 1993, on motion by Ms Follett:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
MR KAINE (12.00): My comments will be brief. This report was tabled in June of last year. It made a number of recommendations as to how the Government might improve the processes of budget supplementation and how they might improve their reporting of what is happening during the year with changes to the budget. The Government has indicated that most, but not all, of the recommendations have been accepted. I think the committee will continue to examine this question over time in any case and we will review the matters the Government chose at this time not to adopt. It is a continuing project of the committee to examine the Government's accounting - the way it does its accounting, the form of its accounts, the form of its reports - so in a sense this was an initial report on the matter. It is pleasing that the Government has adopted most, if not all, of the recommendations, and the committee will review these matters on a continuing basis.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURES - STANDING COMMITTEE
Membership
MR BERRY (12.01): Pursuant to standing order 223, I move:
