I, Tim Youngberry, Division Manager, Financial Reporting and Cash Management Division, Department of Finance and Deregulation, make this Determination under subsection 32 (2) of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (the FMA Act).

This Determination is made because of changes in the administrative arrangements on 3 December 2007. A government decision of 21 January 2008 subsequently confirmed this transfer of function. Amounts related to the ICT Incubators program were transferred to the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy by FMA Act Determination 2008/25 – Section 32 (Transfer of Functions from the former DCITA to DBCDE). This Determination transfers amounts related to that program from the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy to the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
