Notes
The departmental financial statements and associated highlights have been prepared on an accrual accounting basis, and therefore differ from the figures presented in previous sections, which are based on authorities voted by Parliament on a modified cash basis. Note 3 of the financial statements provides a reconciliation of accrual-to-cash accounting methods.
Totals may differ between tables because of rounding.
