There have been no restructuring adjustments to prior year information in the Summary of Financial Activity table.
1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
2019/20 Other Expenses are higher due to expected asset write offs, the expected onerous lease related to Bowen House seismic strengthening work and related relocation of offices.
Capital Expenditure is expected to be higher in 2019/20 due to the conversion of underutilised library spaces into functional office spaces triggered by the seismic strengthening of Bowen House, and consented design to rebuild the Executive Wing Annex and build a Secure Delivery building.
The Operations, Information and Advisory Services (MCA) has increased year on year due to additional funding being required to support the Service's capability and capacity.

Note 1 - Customer satisfaction of at least 4 on a scale of 1-5 in the annual Speaker's satisfaction survey, a 1 being 'not satisfied at all' and 5 being 'very satisfied'.
Note 2 - Through the use of effective security screening visitor management, proceedings of the House of Representatives are not interrupted.
Note 3 - Maintenance work is outlined in the Service's Capital Asset Management Plan (CAMP). The completion of deliverables within the plan is designed to prevent deterioration of the heritage buildings and ensure no outage of building services. This will help ensure that access to and use of the buildings is not negatively impacted by significant plant/systems failure. 'Be Accessible' is a social change initiative in New Zealand designed to promote greater levels of accessibility throughout the country. There are several assessment ratings for organisations that showcase an organisation's accessibility. The ratings are Just Started (just starting on a journey towards being accessible), Bronze (positive steps towards being accessible), Silver (good levels of accessibility in a number of areas), Gold (excellent levels of accessibility in a number of areas) and Platinum (a model of first class accessibility in almost all areas of business).
Note 4 - The Service is responding as a Person Conducting a Business Undertaking (PCBU) of staff working in out-of-Parliament offices under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. The Service is also aligning with the Government mandate to adhere to the new Protective Security Requirements (PSR) which sets minimum standards for personnel, physical and information security. The PSR features a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) that assists agencies to assess their current capability across a number of protective security dimensions, identify capability levels that are appropriate to the security risks they face, and to identify some of the ways in which capability could be lifted.
Note 5 - The standard for responding to and resolving security incidents has been set at 24 hours (on working days) due to the complexities of the ownership of the office (where the member of Parliament is the leaseholder), remoteness of some office locations and contacting all affected Parliamentary Service employees. This standard does not include weekends where possible response times could be delayed and thus exceed 24 hours.
Note 6 - Business hours are defined as 7.30am to 11.00pm while the House of Representatives is sitting and 7.30am to 6.00pm on non-sitting days.
Note 7 - Receipt is regarded as the date the candidate's application is received through the online e-recruitment system, following a request from a member and receipt of a completed nomination form.
Note 8 - The six payroll organisations are Parliamentary Service, Parliamentary Service (Crown), Members of Parliament, Ministers, Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives and Parliamentary Counsel Office.
