In 2008-09, the Office changed its accounting for capital assets. The Office has adopted a policy of capitalizing individual acquisitions having a cost of $2,500 or more. This represents a change. As in prior years, the Office capitalized collections of individual items with a combined invoice value of $2,500 or more. Management believes that this new policy provides more useful information. As a result, certain items previously recorded as capital assets no longer meet policy requirements.
The increase of $200,000 in 2010-2011 was due to the replacement of main server infrastructure equipment every three years.
