This document is the official paperwork that moves the cash.\n\n**The details:** The transfer comes from the 2000-2001 budget (specifically *Appropriation Bill No. 1*) and covers \"Departmental Outputs\" — essentially the running costs and staff expenses of doing the work.\n\n**Who signs it:** A senior bean-counter from the Department of Finance (SES Band 2) exercises powers under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*. This Act lets Finance officials shuffle appropriated funds between agencies when functions change, saving Parliament from passing new laws every time departments swap responsibilities."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00804","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00804/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00804/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00804/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00804/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00804/documents"}}
