Part 3: Report on Performance - 3.6 Discussion and analysis of financial performance

Report on performance

For the financial year ending 30 June 2014, ARPANSA reported an operating deficit of $1.26m. This deficit is attributed to $2.27m depreciation and amortisation expense not requiring appropriation. The underlying result is therefore a surplus of $1.0m; which is a solid result for the Agency.

Revenue for the year remained unchanged from the previous year of $25.1m, 55% of which is appropriated by government. The remaining amounts related to regulatory licence fees and charges and from the sale of goods and services.

ARPANSA's expenses totalled $26.4m, which was a $1.0m reduction on the previous year. Approximately 65% of the Agency's expenses are attributable to Employee benefits. The component of Non-Employee benefits is the area where greatest reduction occurred; with an across the board decrease in discretionary expenditure.

The Agency will continue to implement initiatives it commenced during this financial year to ensure the ongoing efficiency and effectiveness by which it delivers its program, to ensure it operates within its financial resource base.
