Financial statements

Financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

Understanding the financial statements

Comprehensive Operating Statement

The Comprehensive Operating Statement measures our performance over the year and shows if a surplus or deficit has been made in delivering our services. The statement includes all sources of income less all expenses incurred in earning that income.

For the financial year ending 30 June 2022, the net loss of the Authority was $2.9 million.

Balance Sheet

The Balance Sheet sets out our net accumulated financial worth at the end of the financial year. It shows the assets we own as well as liabilities or claims against those assets.

Both assets and liabilities are expressed as current or non-current. Current assets or current liabilities are expected to be converted to cash receipts or outlays within the next twelve months. Non-current assets or liabilities are longer-term.

Equity is our reserves and accumulated surplus that have been reinvested in the Authority over the year.

Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement summarises our cash receipts and payments for the financial year and the net cash position at the end of the year. It differs from the Comprehensive Operating Statement in that it excludes non-cash expenses such as the accruals taken into account in the Comprehensive Operating Statement.

For the year ending 30 June 2022, the Authority had net cash flow from operating activities of $95.4 million.

Statement of Changes in Equity

The Statement of Changes in Equity shows the changes in equity from last year to this year.

The total overall change in equity during a financial year comprises the net result for the year.

Notes to the Accounts

The Notes to the Accounts provide further information about how the financial statements are prepared as well as additional information and detail about specific items within them.

The Notes to the Accounts also describe any changes to accounting standards, policy or legislation that may affect the way the statements are prepared. Information in the Notes is particularly helpful if there has been a significant change from the previous year’s comparative figures.

Statutory Certificate and Auditor General’s Report

These provide the reader with a written undertaking that the financial statements fairly represent the Authority’s financial position and performance for 2021-22. The Report from the Independent Auditor provides an independent view and outlines any issues of concern.

Statutory certification

The attached financial statements for the Portable Long Service Benefits Authority have been prepared in accordance with Direction 5.2 of the Standing Directions of the Assistant Treasurer under the Financial Management Act 1994, applicable Financial Reporting Directions, Australian Accounting Standards including interpretations, and other mandatory professional reporting requirements.

We further state that, in our opinion, the information set out in the Comprehensive Operating Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity and the accompanying notes, presents fairly the financial transactions during the financial year ended 30 June 2022 and the financial position of the Authority as at 30 June 2022.

At the date of signing, we are not aware of any circumstance which would render any particulars included in the financial statements to be misleading or inaccurate.

We authorise the attached financial statements for issue on 20 September 2022.
