Note 23D: Credit Risk

The Administered activities of the Department are not exposed to a high level of credit risk as the majority of financial assets are goods and services receivables and shares in Government controlled and funded entities. The Department has policies and procedures that outline the debt recovery techniques to be applied.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is outlined in the table below.

Note 23E: Liquidity Risk

The Department’s administered financial liabilities are suppliers, subsidies payable, grants payable and other payables. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that the Department will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with administered financial liabilities. This is highly unlikely due to appropriation funding and mechanisms available to the Department (e.g. Advance to the Finance Minister) and internal policies and procedures put in place to ensure there are appropriate resources to meet its financial obligations and has no past experience of default.

Note 23F: Market Risk

The Department holds financial instruments that are of a nature that do not expose the Department to certain market risks. The Department is not exposed to ‘Currency risk’.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The only interest bearing items on the Balance Sheet are loans receivable. The loans have an interest rate linked to Consumer Price Index and will not fluctuate for changes in market interest rate.

Other price risk

The Department’s administered activities are not exposed to ‘Other Price Risk’. Its administered investments are not traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. It does not hold any other financial instruments that would be exposed to price risk.
