FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION AND AUDIT ACT 1977 - SECT 19

19 Overdrawn accounts

(1) This section applies if the net credit balance of the Treasurer's consolidated fund bank account and all the departmental financial-institution accounts is overdrawn unintentionally and the overdrawing is rectified as soon as practical.

(2) The overdrawing is authorised by this section and a Treasurer's approval is not needed.

(3) This section has effect despite sections 16 and 17.

Example of unintentional overdrawing of accounts--
Each morning departments give the treasury department a forecast of their cash flow for the day. The relevant officers of the treasury department add the total of the departmental forecasts to the net credit balance of the Treasurer's consolidated fund bank account and all the departmental financial-institution accounts (including TISFIA) to decide the surplus or deficit of moneys on the day. If there is a surplus, it is invested. If the forecasts are incorrect because a department receives less or withdraws more on the day than forecasted, the net credit balance will be unintentionally overdrawn.
