This document formally shifts the spending authority using powers under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which allows the Finance Department to adjust appropriations when agency functions change.\n\nThis ensures the receiving department can legally spend the money to deliver the transferred services."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006b11674","history":"/api/acts/f2006b11674/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006b11674/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006b11674/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006b11674/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006b11674/documents"}}
