(2)

The Treasury shall advise the Audit Office of all expenditure approved under this section, whereupon, notwithstanding section 53(1) of the Public Finance Act 1977, the money may be issued and applied accordingly.

(d)

a statement of the public debt, together with a statement of all guarantees, indemnities, and securities given by the Minister of Finance on behalf of the Crown that remain contingent liabilities at the end of the transitional quarter; and

such other information and statements as would be required, by sections 46, 56, and 86 and any other provision of the Public Finance Act 1977 or any other provision of any other Act, to be included in the statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter if that statement were a statement of the public accounts for a financial year.

(3)

The statement specified in subsection (2)(a) shall include all payments made, and money received, by imprestees that can be incorporated in the books of the Treasury for the transitional quarter.
