This document formally moves the cash from the old agency to the new one using powers under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997* (section 32 allows the Finance Minister or their delegate to transfer appropriated funds when functions move between agencies).\n\n**Who is affected:**\nThis is an internal government accounting change.
