Total expenses for the Commission were $7 million in 2009-10. The majority of funds, $4.4 million or 64 percent, were spent in supporting the research, truth, healing and commemoration activities program; while the balance of funds were spent in internal services ($2.5 million or 36 percent). The increase in operating expenses is due to the fact that being in its start up phase, the Commission started to hire employees and to do more program activities than in the previous year.
