any change under this Act to the department’s vote or the amounts for application to 1 or more of the department’s headings;

the total amount paid to the department for the financial year and the amounts allocated to the department’s headings;

amounts paid to the department as unforeseen expenditure and particulars of the amounts;

amounts written off by the Treasurer under section 21 as losses relating to the consolidated fund account.

The consolidated fund financial report must not include a controlled receipt appropriated under section 28.

The Treasurer must, under section 24, sign the consolidated fund financial report and give it to the auditor-general for a report by the auditor-general.

Within 14 days after the auditor-general returns the consolidated fund financial report to the Treasurer with the auditor-general’s report, the Treasurer must table the reports in the Legislative Assembly.
