Prospective non-departmental financial statements

In addition to the Statement of Prospective Non-departmental Appropriations and Expenditure on page 75, schedules of forecast non-departmental revenue and receipts, assets and liabilities are provided after the following Statement of Accounting Policies.

Statement of accounting policies

Measurement system

Measurement and recognition rules applied in the preparation of these non-departmental financial forecasts are consistent with generally accepted accounting practice, our departmental Statement of Significant Accounting Policies and Crown accounting policies. These non-departmental balances are consolidated into the Crown Financial Statements and therefore readers of these financial forecasts should also refer to the Forecast Crown Financial Statements for 2007/08.

Accounting policies

The following particular accounting policies, which materially affect the measurement of financial results and financial position, have been applied.

Goods and services tax (GST)
The Statement of Prospective Non-departmental Appropriations and Expenditure is exclusive of GST (where applicable). The Schedule of Forecast Non-Departmental Assets and the Schedule of Forecast Non-Departmental Liabilities are exclusive of GST, except for payables and receivables, which are GST-inclusive.

Liabilities are exclusive of GST, except for payables and receivables, which are GST-inclusive.

Revenues and receipts
We administer revenue on behalf of the Crown. The revenue includes interest on Housing New Zealand Corporation loans. Interest is recognised in the period to which it relates.

Expenses
Expenses are recognised in the period to which they relate.

Receivables
Receivables are recorded at estimated realisable value after providing, where necessary, for doubtful and uncollectible debts.

Commitments
Future expenses and liabilities to be incurred on contracts that have been entered into at balance date are disclosed as commitments (at the point a contractual obligation arises) to the extent that there are equally unperformed obligations. Commitments relating to employment contracts are not disclosed.

Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed at the point at which the contingency is evident.
