SOPS 3. Reconciliation of Net Resource Outturn to Net Cash Requirement

				2021-22
	Note	Outturn £000	Estimate £000	Net total outturn compared with Estimate: saving/(excess) £000
Net Resource Outturn	SOPS 1.1	9,726,413	10,069,627	343,214
Capital Outturn	SOPS 1.2	1,431,404	1,588,361	156,957
Accruals to cash adjustments:
Adjustments to remove non-cash items:
Depreciation and Amortisation		(701,227)	(871,288)	(170,061)
New provisions and adjustments to previous provisions		(2,041,913)	(673,881)	1,368,032
Other non-cash items		(358,978)	-	358,978
Adjustments for Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs):
Remove voted resource and capital		(320,687)	(332,556)	(11,869)
Add cash Grant in Aid		272,480	297,686	25,206
Adjustments to reflect movements in working balances:
Increase / (decrease) in receivables		114,750	-	(114,750)
Increase / (decrease) in inventories		297	-	(297)
(Increase) / decrease in payables		162,600	540,000	377,400
Use of provisions		1,984,899	152,153	(1,832,746)
Removal of non-voted items:
Consolidated Fund Standing Services		(163,084)	(158,234)	4,850
OLC and LSB non-voted levy income		17,804	-	(17,804)
Other adjustments		-	17,774	17,774
Net cash requirement		10,124,758	10,629,642	504,884

As noted in the introduction to the SOPS above, outturn and the Estimates are compiled against the budgeting framework, not on a cash basis. This reconciliation therefore bridges the resource and capital outturn to the net cash requirement. The net cash requirement calculation only applies to the core department and executive agencies.

SOPS 4. Income payable to the Consolidated Fund

In addition to income retained by the department, the following income relates to the department and is payable to the Consolidated Fund (cash receipts being shown in italics).

	Outturn 2021-22		Outturn 2020-21
	Income £000	Receipts £000	Income £000	Receipts £000
Income outside the ambit of the estimate	2,820	2,820	267	267
Levy income of OLC and LSB within the ambit of the estimate	17,804	17,804	17,067	17,067
Total income payable to the Consolidated Fund	20,624	20,624	17,334	17,334

The department also collects fines and penalties imposed by the judiciary and police; however, these are excluded from the income reported here and are reported separately in the HMCTS Trust Statement.

Annex B: Public expenditure core financial tables

The Core Tables represent expenditure for resource and capital, set for each year in the Spending Review process (amended to incorporate transfers of functions to other government departments as they have arisen). These tables are not reported on the same basis as the financial statements disclosures, with differing categories and headings.

The Core Tables are produced automatically from the HM Treasury System (Online System for Central Accounting and Reporting (OSCAR)) which is used by all central government departments to record their spending and plans. At 31 March 2022, OSCAR reflects the position agreed at Budget 2021.

This won’t match the outturn in previous years’ financial statements and some spending may also appear on different lines, this may frequently result in restatement of the previous years’ core table figures.

All tabled information was correct and accurate as at the approval date of the accompanying annual report and accounts.

Staff numbers are presented by the average number of Full Time Equivalent. The costs of board members, panel members and commissioners of ALBs are included in other staff costs above but there is no corresponding FTE figure assigned against these individuals because it would not be appropriate to do so.

Annex E: Report by the Secretary of State on the use of powers under section 70 of the Charities Act 2006 for the year 2021-22

Section 70 of the Charities Act (‘the Act’) sets out the powers for ministers to give financial assistance to charitable, benevolent or philanthropic institutions and requires that payments made under this power are reported.

During 2021‑22, the department awarded grants totalling £5,787,603 under the provisions of the Act. This spending does not represent the total amount of grant funding provided to the voluntary and community sector, as many other grants have been paid to this sector under the powers conferred by alternative legislation.

The activities undertaken by various organisations which the department has funded are in line with the department’s aims and objectives.
