AUDIT PLANS

In reply to Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (13 November 2007).

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): As at the end of October 2007, the estimated full year expected expenditure for Shared Services SA for the 2007-08 financial year is $23 million.

Given the reform is still in the planning stages, it is not possible to predict with absolute certainty the level and areas of possible expense in the future.

The original budget for the 2007-08 financial year was $27 million, however, this has been reduced to $23 million as per above, and approximately $4 million will be carried over to the 2008-09 financial year.
