Financial Overview

Defence's Financial Position

The Statement of Financial Position sets out Defence's assets, liabilities and equity as at 30 June 2005. Also known as the balance sheet, its purpose is to provide a snapshot of the long-term sustainability of the organisation. Defence had net assets of $50.1 billion as at 30 June 2005, which was $1.6 billion higher than the revised additional estimate. The bulk of this variation relates to the revaluation of the entire estate. Table 1.3 provides details. Explanations of variations follow Table 1.3.
