This document acts like a formal bank transfer instruction between government accounts. It moves **non-lapsing appropriations** (funding from previous years that hasn't expired and can still be spent) to ensure the receiving department has the budget to carry out its new responsibilities.\n\nThe transfer is authorised under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which allows the Finance Minister (or their delegate) to adjust appropriations when agency functions change. This keeps taxpayer funds aligned with the actual work they were intended to fund."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2005l03715","history":"/api/acts/f2005l03715/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2005l03715/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2005l03715/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2005l03715/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2005l03715/documents"}}
