Cash position of Principal Agencies as at 30/06/2018
Dear Department of Finance,
I am trying to extrapolate the Cash at Bank position for each Federal Agency as at 30/06/2018. So far I have only been able to retrieve that information from the annual report by each agency one by agency.
I'm wondering if you have a consolidated report that shows the total cash position of the Australian Government, as well as that for each Federal Agency? If that data is too large, then can I just have this information for the 190 Principal Agencies?
Many thanks for your help.
Yours faithfully,
Tracy Huang
