Financial and Performance Management Standard 2019

This section states—

for section 63(1) of the Act—when a department’s accountable officer or a statutory body must give an annual report to the appropriate Minister for the department or statutory body; and

for section 63(2) of the Act—when the annual report must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.

A department’s accountable officer or a statutory body must give an annual report for a financial year to the appropriate Minister for the department or statutory body by a day agreed between the accountable officer or statutory body and the appropriate Minister.

The day agreed must allow the annual report to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly within 3 months after the end of the financial year (the tabling period).

The appropriate Minister may extend or further extend, for the financial year, the tabling period by notice given to the department’s accountable officer or the statutory body.

However, if the appropriate Minister extends the tabling period to a period of more than 6 months after the end of the financial year, the appropriate Minister must, within 14 days after giving the extension, table in the Legislative Assembly a notice stating—

the report is being tabled late; and

the length of the delay; and

the reasons for the delay.

The appropriate Minister must table the annual report in the Legislative Assembly within the tabling period mentioned in subsection (3) or extended under subsection (4).

This section does not apply in relation to a final report.
