Financial reporting
Financial reporting information for the department is available in a number of publications including:
- Annual reports
The annual report summarises the department’s financial and corporate performance for the year. The report enables the Queensland community and government to assess our financial and operational performance. - Annual Service Delivery Statements
The Service Delivery Statement (SDS) provides the community and other interested parties with information on the proposed use of financial resources, and outcomes to be achieved, in the following financial year. The SDS also provides a summary of achievement against the previous years published budget and planned outcomes.
A critical part of the State Budget, the SDS is the primary source of information for the hearings of the Parliamentary Estimates Committees. These hearings examine the funding provided in the State Budget to each Ministerial portfolio and take place following the presentation of the Budget.
The SDS is also used by Members of Parliament, the media, the public and other interested parties for obtaining information on key strategies of individual Queensland Government agencies.
The SDS has replaced the previously published Ministerial Portfolio Statement. - State Budget Highlights documents
These documents provide a high-level summary of the key features of the agency’s Budget for the forthcoming financial year.
Grants
The department administers a grants scheme funded by the Legal Practitioner Interest on Trust Accounts Fund (LPITAF).
The Attorney-General allocates the pool of funding within LPITAF for the grants fund each year. The 2009-10 allocation was $1.5 million.
A list of successful grant applications is published each year.
Applications for 2010/11 will open in early 2010.
