In practice, any leftover money would have been moved to other accounts before this determination took effect.\n\n**Why it matters**\nWhile technical, this prevents \"zombie\" accounts from cluttering the government's financial system and ensures clear accountability for public money."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2004-15-federation-fund-account-abolition-2004","history":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2004-15-federation-fund-account-abolition-2004/history","analysis":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2004-15-federation-fund-account-abolition-2004/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2004-15-federation-fund-account-abolition-2004/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2004-15-federation-fund-account-abolition-2004/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2004-15-federation-fund-account-abolition-2004/documents"}}
