Financial risk management
Financial instruments held by the department are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, finance leases, receivables and payables. The
department has limited exposure to financial risks. The department's overall risk management program focuses on managing the risks identified below.
a)
Credit risk
Summary of risks and risk management
Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the department's receivables defaulting on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the department.
Credit risk associated with the department's financial assets is minimal because the main receivable is the amounts receivable for services (holding account). For receivables
other than Government, the department trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. The department has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and
services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the department's
exposure to bad debts is minimal. Debt will be written-off against the allowance account when it is improbable or uneconomical to recover the debt. At the end of the reporting
period there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.
