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 within and between tables because of rounding.
