MMR Helpful Hints

Monthly Management Report

‘Helpful Hints’

This Month’s Tips…

(1) Timeframe for Submission of Employment Agreements

Senators and Members and their employees are reminded of the requirement that completed
employment agreements, and variations to employment agreements, must be received by
Ministerial and Parliamentary Services (M&PS) within six weeks of the commencement date of
the agreement or variation.

Paragraph 5.1.3 of the Senators and Members’ Entitlements handbook refers to the responsibility
of the employing Senator or Member for ensuring that completed employment agreements and
associated documentation are received by M&PS within six weeks of an employee’s
commencement.

Where the above condition is not met, the Commonwealth’s liability for payment of entitlements
associated with the employment of the relevant employee is limited to the period commencing six
weeks prior to the employment agreement or variation being received by M&PS. In addition, until
employment documentation is completed, employees are not entitled to travel and Travelling
Allowance will not be paid.

(2) Certification of Monthly Management Reports

Certification of the Monthly Management Report (MMR) has been developed in two parts. Part
A covers expenditure that a Senator or Member could reasonably be expected to be aware of,
namely his or her own travel expenditure and that of family members; and Part B which covers
staff and general administrative costs. An authorised person is able to certify staff and general
administrative costs (other than their own) on behalf of the Senator or Member, however the
Senator or Member must certify the Part A expenditure.  The Certification Explanatory Statement,
which follows the certification page in your report, describes the essential elements of each
entitlement reported.

Senators and Members are reminded to check the current MMR to confirm all certifications have
been lodged with M&PS.

(3) Family Travel and Homebase Nomination Form

Senators and Members who have not completed and forwarded a 2009/2010 Nomination of Family
for Travel Entitlements and Home Base form are reminded that family travellers should not
undertake travel until the form is completed. The form is available from the MOP(S) intranet site
at http://mops. The nomination of a nominee is subject to the approval of the Special Minister of
State, or a person nominated by the Special Minister of State to approve a nominee on his behalf.

CERTIFICATION OF USE OF ENTITLEMENTS
AUGUST 2009
I,……………………………………………………………….[print name] confirm that in relation
to the Monthly Management Report:
•  I have read and understand the following Certification Explanatory Statement that describes the
essential elements of each entitlement report;
•  I have examined the transaction details*; and
•  The transactions described** were accessed in accordance with the relevant legislation.
I understand that:
•  It is not appropriate for an authorised person to certify their own use of entitlements; and
•  Knowingly giving false or misleading information is a serious offence under the Criminal Code.
Senator or Member Certification
Part A and Part B (in respect of use of entitlements by an authorised person or all use of entitlements if there is no
authorised person)
Certified by: .................................................................... Date:........................................................
                     Senator or Member
Authorised Person Certification
Part B (Where completed by authorised***person)
Certified by: .................................................................... Date:........................................................
                     Authorised person
* Not including the LeasePlan Transaction Report which is provided for information only.
** If you identify a discrepancy in the Monthly Management Report, please sign the certification 'subject to qualification'. You
should then fax or email the details of the discrepancy to your Entitlements Manager or the Entitlements Management Branch on
facsimile (02) 6267 3279 or email xxx@xxxxxxx.xxx.xx. The record will be reviewed and, if necessary, an updated record sent to
you.
*** Please be aware that a specific authorisation for signing Monthly Management Reports is required.
Senators and Members are asked to certify that their use of entitlements has been in accordance with the Parliamentary
Entitlements Act 1990 (including the Regulations), relevant determinations of the Remuneration Tribunal and the Members of
Parliament (Staff) Act 1984 (together referred to as 'the relevant legislation').

The following Certification Explanatory Statement details the essential elements of each entitlement that may have been accessed
by you, your staff or other persons entitled under the relevant legislation and reported in this Monthly Management Report.
Because the entitlement accrues to you as a Senator or Member, you have the ultimate responsibility to ensure that entitlements
were accessed in accordance with the relevant legislation.

Certification is an important process by which Ministerial and Parliamentary Services is able to comply with its obligations under
the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997. The certification process is also an integral part of the accountability
framework that serves to protect you from unwarranted criticism regarding your use of entitlements.

Some entitlements you will have personal knowledge of, for example, your own flights or that of your spouse. Other entitlements
may have been accessed by a staff member, of which you may not have personal knowledge, for example, Cabcharge usage or
stationery supplies.

Where you have certified use of an entitlement at a transactional level, you or an authorised person will not be required to certify it
again in this Monthly Management Report.

The certification above is divided into TWO PARTS: Part A: Certification for a Senator or Member personally - includes travel by
(a) self; (b) spouse (c) family (d) Telecard use and (e) residential telephones. Part B: Certification for all staff use of entitlements
and general office/administrative costs - either the Senator or Member or an authorised person may certify this section. ***
The signed certification should be returned to:

subsequently will appear in a future report.

♦  Goods and services purchased by Finance on behalf of Senators and Members are reported
exclusive of recoverable Goods and Services Tax (GST). This is in accordance with the
requirement that all agencies report all expenditure as exclusive of recoverable GST. It is
important to contact the M&PS Entitlements Management Branch to obtain the correct amount

included on dockets or invoices provided directly to Senators, Members or staff by service
providers needs to be included.

♦  At the time an invoice is raised by M&PS (e.g. for passengers on a charter flight) this
transaction will appear as a negative amount in the report. It indicates only that an invoice has
been raised, it does not report that the payment has been received.

♦  When a flight or leg has not been flown then the refund will appear in the Monthly
Management Report (MMR) when the credit is received from the Travel Service Provider.
This usually occurs within a month of date of travel and, as a result, will appear in the next
MMR. For checking purposes, it is advisable to delay any refund query until the subsequent
month's report.

_________________________________________________  _________________________________________________
♦  Fares itemised in the following pages have been advised by the airlines and charged against
your account. They should be checked against travel actually taken. All unused tickets
(including for multiple bookings on the same day) must be returned to the booking agent to
enable a refund to be processed. If unused tickets are not returned, the value of the tickets will
continue to appear as a charge against your account and, of course, will be included in any
Departmental reports on your travel expenditure.

♦  Figures provided reflect accounts paid from 1 August 2009 to 31 August 2009 in respect of
entitlement usage for the 2009-2010 financial year. Any invoices or refunds received
subsequently will appear in a future report.

♦  Goods and services purchased by Finance on behalf of Senators and Members are reported
exclusive of recoverable Goods and Services Tax (GST). This is in accordance with the
requirement that all agencies report all expenditure as exclusive of recoverable GST. It is
important to contact the M&PS Entitlements Management Branch to obtain the correct amount
before repaying any monies to the Department, as GST along with other fees that are not
included on dockets or invoices provided directly to Senators, Members or staff by service
providers needs to be included.

♦  At the time an invoice is raised by M&PS (e.g. for passengers on a charter flight) this
transaction will appear as a negative amount in the report. It indicates only that an invoice has
been raised, it does not report that the payment has been received.

♦  When a flight or leg has not been flown then the refund will appear in the Monthly
Management Report (MMR) when the credit is received from the Travel Service Provider.
This usually occurs within a month of date of travel and, as a result, will appear in the next
MMR. For checking purposes, it is advisable to delay any refund query until the subsequent
month's report.
