The Outcomes Report The Outcomes Report contains financial statements that are prepared and presented in accordance with the Uniform Presentation Framework (UPF) agreed to at the 1991 Premiers' Conference and recently revised to align with AASB 1049 Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting. The primary objective of the UPF is to provide uniform and comparable reporting of Commonwealth, State and Territory governments' financial information. Queensland's annual Budget was prepared in accordance with the revised UPF, and the Outcomes Report compares achieved financial results with revised forecasts as per the 2010-11 Budget papers. The UPF presentation is primarily structured on a sectoral basis with a focus on the General Government and Public Non-financial Corporations sectors. The AASB 1049 Financial Statements The AASB 1049 Financial Statements outline the operations of the Queensland Government on an accrual basis in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1049 Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting and other applicable standards. The statements present the operating statement, balance sheet and cash flows of the Queensland Total State Sector on a consolidated basis and the GGS on a partially consolidated basis. AASB 1049 Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting was released in October 2007. The standard aims to harmonise the Government Finance Statistics (GFS) and Accounting Standard frameworks. The GFS reporting framework, developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), is based on international statistical standards and allows comprehensive assessments to be made of the economic impact of government. A full set of financial statements is required for both the GGS and Total State Sector. Comparison is with the prior year, though the GGS financial statements also require analysis of variances between original published budget and actuals. Financial statements for the General Government, Public Non-financial Corporations and Public Financial Corporations sectors are disclosed in the disaggregated information note to the financial statements (Note 2). Refer Note 54 of the financial statements for a full list of consolidated entities. Where applicable, comparatives have been restated to agree with changes in presentation in the financial statements for the current reporting period and to correct timing differences and/or errors from prior periods.

The improvement in the result is due to marginally lower expenses. A cash deficit of $5.305 billion was recorded for 2009-10 in the General Government Sector, compared to a budgeted deficit of $5.254 billion. The State's net worth decreased to $175.655 billion as at 30 June 2010, mainly due to revaluation decrements to non-financial assets. Payments for capital purchases in the General Government Sector were slightly higher than forecast mainly due to the purchase of the Traveston land from the Public Non-financial Corporations Sector.
