IN-CONFIDENCE RELEASE EXTERNAL

Subject: Official Information request - Financial position

Dear New Zealand Customs Service,

Is your department at risk of overspending its financial appropriation this year?

If it is, please supply
* all correspondence with and information supplied to Treasury about this
* all correspondence with and information supplied to your Minister and your Minister’s office about this
* all correspondence with and information supplied to the Public Services Commission about this
* all correspondence with and information supplied to the Auditor-General or his office about this
* all papers to or considered by your leadership team about this
* all papers to or considered by your risk and audit committee about this
* all papers to or considered by any other of your governance groups about this

Have you set aside an allowance in this financial year for redundancies or other costs of restructuring?

If so, how much is that allowance?
If not, do you anticipate any costs for these in this financial year?

To facilitate prompt response you may treat these as two separate OIA requests. You may also provide the responses in progressive releases. If one or more groups of documents might require an extension you should provide any part of the response that would not first, and the part requiring additional time subsequently.

Yours faithfully,

J. Bythell
