Introduction Purpose This Annual Plan and Estimates - the Government’s main Budget document - outlines the Government’s planned policy actions and forecast financial performance for the 2008/9 financial year. Those actions reflect the outcome goals, fiscal strategy and priorities established by the People’s Progressive Movement (PPM) Administration that were outlined in the 2008/9 Strategic Policy Statement. This document, which complies with the requirements of the Public Management and Finance Law (2005 Revision), also specifies the expenditure appropriations being requested to fund those policy actions. Those appropriation requests form the basis of the Appropriation (July 2008 to June 2009) Bill, 2008. The Annual Plan and Estimates summarises the planned actions and financial performance at an overall government level. The performance expected of individual Government agencies and Non-Governmental Organisations supplying outputs is provided in three other sets of documents that accompany the Annual Plan and Estimates: • Annual Budget Statements for each Ministry and Portfolio, which documents in detail the output delivery and ownership performance expected of each during the 2008/9 financial year; • Purchase Agreements, which specify in detail the outputs the Government plans to purchase from Statutory Authorities, Government companies and Non-Governmental output suppliers in 2008/9; and • Ownership Agreements, which specify the ownership performance the Government expects of each Statutory Authority and Government Companies during 2008/9. Content of the Annual Plan and Estimates The layout and content of the 2008/9 Annual Plan and Estimates is similar to previous years. Part A contains the Government’s Annual Plan for the financial year. This Plan has been developed to give effect to the Government’s multi-year outcome goals as outlined in the 2008/9 Strategic Policy Statement. Part A includes: • A description of the policy outcomes that the Government is seeking to influence during the year; and • A summary of the policy actions the Government intends to take to influence these policy outcomes including: o Legislation that will be prepared and introduced o Outputs that will be purchased (by group) o Transfer payments that will be made (by category) o Ownership actions that will be taken (by way of equity investments, the purchase/development of assets, loans to be made, and new guarantees to be issued) • An overview of the forecast financial performance for the Government as a whole for the financial year. These forecasts have been prepared on an accrual-accounting basis. Part B contains the Estimates of Appropriations for the 2008/9 financial year. These appropriations are to Cabinet and are the responsibility of the assigned Minister or Official Member. Two sets of appropriations are the responsibility of Committees of the Legislative Assembly. These allow them to purchase outputs from the Audit Office and the Office of the Complaints Commissioner which are both part of the Legislative rather than Executive branch of Government. Part C contains the detailed Forecast Accrual Based-Financial Statements for the 2008/9 financial year.
