Auditor-General for the Northern Territory February 2023 Report Page 29 of 131 Treasurers Annual Financial Statements cont Presented below is a summary of the Non Financial Public Sector actual, budget and estimated employee expenses from the Treasurers Annual Financial Statements data for 2010-11 to 2021-22 and Budget Paper 2 (2022-23). Total Public Sector forward estimates are not available for analysis as the Total Public Sector includes the Northern Territory Treasury Corporation and previously included the Territory Insurance Office. The Territory Insurance Office was an off-budget entity, consequently budgets and forward estimates were not available. Figure 2: Non Financial Public Sector Employee Expenses ($million) Source: Treasurers Annual Financial Statements and Budget Paper 2 (2022-23) The graph above shows the growth of employee expenses since the 2010-11 financial year with employee expenses almost doubling over the 11-year period. Of significance is the gap between actual employee expenses and budget. Actual employee expenditure has exceeded the budgeted expenditure and all forward estimates of employee expenditure for each of the years presented in the figure above.
