Running superannuation services for government and defence employees (and their families)\n  2. Providing support to the Boards of Trustees who manage these superannuation schemes\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis ensures that money collected for managing public sector superannuation is kept separate from general government revenue and can only be spent on specified administration activities, providing financial accountability for retirement funds."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-act-1997-determination-to-establish-component-of-the-commerc","history":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-act-1997-determination-to-establish-component-of-the-commerc/history","analysis":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-act-1997-determination-to-establish-component-of-the-commerc/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-act-1997-determination-to-establish-component-of-the-commerc/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-act-1997-determination-to-establish-component-of-the-commerc/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-act-1997-determination-to-establish-component-of-the-commerc/documents"}}
