CERTIFICATION OF USE OF ENTITLEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 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:

♦  Figures provided reflect accounts paid from 1 September 2009 to 30 September 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.

_________________________________________________  _________________________________________________
♦  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 September 2009 to 30 September 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.
