This Direction makes that transfer official under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*.\n\n**Key details:**\n- The money is **'non-lapsing'**, meaning it didn't expire at the end of the financial year and can still be spent.\n- It comes from **'prior years' Appropriation'** — essentially leftover budget from previous years.\n- The transfer ensures the Department of Finance and Administration has the funds to continue work previously done by the Office of Asset Sales and Commercial Support."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00938","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00938/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00938/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00938/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00938/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00938/documents"}}
