This direction makes that transfer official under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*.\n\n**Who made it:**\n- James Kerwin, a Branch Manager in the Department of Finance and Administration, using powers given to him under section 32 of the Act.\n\n**In short:** It's a paperwork exercise to ensure the Communications department has the budget it needs to pay for functions transferred from the Industry department."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00965","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00965/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00965/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00965/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00965/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00965/documents"}}
