Tracy Huang made this Freedom of Information request to Department of Finance

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Department of Finance,

I am trying to extrapolate the Cash at Bank position for each Federal Agency as at 30/06/2018. So far I have only been able to retrieve that information from the annual report by each agency one by agency.

I'm wondering if you have a consolidated report that shows the total cash position of the Australian Government, as well as that for each Federal Agency? If that data is too large, then can I just have this information for the 190 Principal Agencies?

Many thanks for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Tracy Huang
