Examples: PEFO 2007 (Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook) UEFO 2009 (Updated Economic and Fiscal Outlook) Appropriation (Tsunami Financial Assistance) Bill Appropriation (Drought and Equine Influenza Assistance) Bill (No.1) It is expected that the CBMS solution will be flexible to cater for any changes to the budget process and timetable including the frequency and timing of estimates updates.

34 34 Illustrative fiscal example Government agrees to a new policy proposal (NPP) to fund a new drug under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The policy is a multi-year funding arrangement scheduled to commence in the next year ( ) and is the responsibility of the Department of Health and Ageing.
35 35 Illustrative fiscal example The following set of activities follows the development of a new program through a full budget cycle. It is not in reference to any specific new program occurrence, rather it is a hypothetical to illustrate the process. In a normal budget estimates update, this example would be one of hundreds of decisions and thousands of adjustments entered by agencies which build on existing budget estimates. The sample tables in this example are for illustrative purposes to demonstrate data-flows. They do not indicate any preference for what data-entry should look like. This example is not exhaustive. Decisions will not always follow this exact path.
36 36 Activity 1: New Policy Proposal
37 37 Activity 1: NPP Measure created A Measure code and a Measure description are assigned: Measure Code: MC0001 Measure Description: A new drug under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). The financial impact of our example decision:
