Part 3: Report on Performance - 3.6 Discussion and analysis of financial performance

Report on performance

For the financial year ending 30 June 2015, ARPANSA reported an operating deficit of $1.64m. This deficit is attributed to depreciation and amortisation expense not requiring appropriation.

Revenue for the year totalled $24.1m, of which 55% was appropriated by government. The remaining amounts related to regulatory licence fees and charges and from the sale of goods and services. ARPANSA’s expenses totalled $25.8m. Approximately 61% of these expenses are attributed to employee benefits.

The Agency will continue to implement initiatives it commenced during this financial year to ensure the ongoing efficiency and effectiveness by which it delivers its program, to ensure it operates within its financial resource base.
