This Part relates to the period commencing on 1 April 1989 and ending with 30 June 1989 (hereinafter referred to in this Part as the transitional quarter).
(1) Where, during the transitional quarter, it is desirable that public money should be expended in excess of or without the appropriation of Parliament, the Minister of Finance may approve the expenditure out of the Public Account, or any account outside the Public Account, of such sum or sums as the Minister of Finance considers necessary.
(2) The Treasury shall advise the Audit Office of all expenditure approved under this section, whereupon, notwithstanding section 53(1) of the Public Finance Act 1977, the money may be issued and applied accordingly.
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) or subsection (2), the total of all sums issued and applied under this section in the transitional quarter shall not exceed a sum equal to 21/2% of all sums issued and applied under section 2 of the Imprest Supply Act 1989.

(5) Without affecting the validity of any expenditure lawfully made under the foregoing provisions of this section, a statement of any expenditure under this section shall be included in—
(a) the public accounts for the transitional quarter; and
(b) an Appropriation Bill for both the transitional quarter and the financial year beginning on 1 July 1989 for sanction by Parliament.
(1) The Treasury shall, as soon as practicable after the end of the transitional quarter but not later than 31 August 1989, prepare and forward to the Audit Office a statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter.
(2) The statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter shall contain—
(a) a statement of the receipts and payments of the accounts and funds comprising the Public Account for the transitional quarter; and
(b) a statement showing the expenditure relating to each vote as set out in the estimates of expenditure for the transitional quarter, and the amount (if any) under-expended or over-expended in each case; and
(c) a statement showing the amounts outstanding (including accretions from investments by way of bonus shares or capitalised interest) of any money paid out of the Public Account by way of advances or loans to, or for the purchase of shares or the provision of fixed capital in, any company or government agency; and
(d) a statement of the public debt, together with a statement of all guarantees, indemnities, and securities given by the Minister of Finance on behalf of the Crown that remain contingent liabilities at the end of the transitional quarter; and
(e) such other information and statements as would be required, by sections 46, 56, and 86 and any other provision of the Public Finance Act 1977 or any other provision of any other Act, to be included in the statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter if that statement were a statement of the public accounts for a financial year.
(3) The statement specified in subsection (2)(a) shall include all payments made, and money received, by imprestees that can be incorporated in the books of the Treasury for the transitional quarter. Imprests that are unaccounted for at the end of the transitional quarter shall be shown as imprests outstanding.
(4) The payments referred to in subsection (2)(a) shall not include the investment of any money under section 41(3) or section 50 of the Public Finance Act 1977. The total of such investments outstanding at the end of the transitional quarter shall be shown in the public accounts for the transitional quarter in such manner as the Minister of Finance directs.

(a) enface on the statement forwarded to it pursuant to section 4(1) a report stating whether or not, in its opinion, the statement properly reflects the financial transactions for the transitional quarter, and any other remarks that it thinks fit to make; and
(b) return the statement to the Treasury.
(2) The Minister of Finance shall lay the statement of the public accounts for the transitional quarter before the House of Representatives not later than the sixth sitting day of the House of Representatives after the day on which the statement is returned by the Audit Office to the Treasury.
(3) Nothing in section 66 of the Public Finance Act 1977 applies in respect of the public accounts for the transitional quarter.
(1) Where any Act requires the preparation of an annual report on the operations of a government department (within the meaning of the Public Finance Act 1977), the person who is responsible under that Act for the preparation of that report shall, as soon as practicable after the end of the transitional quarter, give to the Minister in charge of that government department a report on the operations of that government department for the transitional quarter.

4Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989
5List of amendments incorporated in this reprint (most recent first)
This is a reprint of the Finance Act 1989. The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the Act as at 1 April 1997, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes.
Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that contain transitional, savings, or application provisions that cannot be compiled in the reprint are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order. For more information, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/reprints/ 
.
Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.
A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/editorial-conventions/ or Part 8 of the Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force.
Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:
•omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of this section”
and “of this Act”
)
•typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point)
•layout of provisions, including:
•indentation
•position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section)
•format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks)
•format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999”
is now expressed as “1 January 1999”
)
•position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act)
•punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions)
•Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•case and appearance of letters and words, including:
•format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter)
•small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters
•schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page)
•format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
