Australian Government general government sector Monthly Financial Statements Tables and Data

The Australian Government general government sector Monthly Financial Statements are officially available from July to May for each month at www.finance.gov.au.\r\n\r\nThis dataset provides an historical series of a collection of published Australian Government general government sector monthly financial statements from 2005-06, including the: \r\n\r\n•\tAggregates tables\r\n\r\n•\tOperating Statement\r\n\r\n•\tBalance Sheet\r\n\r\n•\tCash Flow Statement\r\n\r\n•\tTaxation tables\r\n\r\n•\tFunction tables\r\n\r\nMonthly Financial Statements are not published for the month of June. These figures can be sourced from the Final Budget Outcome (www.budget.gov.au) or the Consolidated Financial Statements (www.finance.gov.au).\r\n\r\nThe Historical Monthly Financial Statements series is provided to assist those who wish to analyse, visualise and programmatically access this data. \r\n\r\nThe Australian Government Monthly Financial Statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Budget as required under section 47 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (formerly section 54 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997). \r\n\r\nSince 2008-09 the statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1049 – Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting, which requires accounting treatment based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) Government Finance Statistics (GFS) except where Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) provide a better conceptual treatment for specific items. Departures are limited to complying with either ABS GFS or AAS. The change in 2008-09 represented a significant change in the format and content of the monthly financial statements.\r\n\r\nThe Monthly Financial Statements estimates dataset is based solely upon the published monthly profiles. Where no year-to-date profile was published the year-to-date actual figure has been used in its place.\r\n\r\nPlease note that this dataset represents published information and will not be recast. Figures may not be directly comparable over time due to changes of classification, accounting standards or budget treatments. \r\n\r\nThis data is released by the Department of Finance.\r\n
