A.5 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The outcome for the 2011-2012 financial year was broadly in line with budget.IT costs and witness expenses will continue to burden the budget in future years. Anticipated reductions in funding by way of efficiency dividends, budget efficiency realisation program savings and workforce planning savings will further add to these challenges in an environment of increasing workloads, and greater complexity of legislation and court procedure.
It is a matter of much regret that at a time that the workload of the Office is expanding, the resources available to it are contracting. What exacerbates this is the fact that the Office is a downstream agency, and is not in control of its workload, nor the services it is required to deliver, nor the timeframes in which it delivers them. All of those matters are determined by external forces.
