The following are the principal accounting policies and procedures being applied by the <strong>Unit</strong> to recognise and measure its achievements disclosed<br />

are also now reported separately.<br />

Schedule A - Value of Completed Investigations and Recoveries<br />

Recognition<br />

Items recognised as new and rollover cases represent the total value of cases and are presented under the following categories:<br />

1. Analysis of cases :<br />

- Prevention of loss during the current year.<br />

- Recoveries of cash by the <strong>Unit</strong> on behalf of a third party.<br />

- Recoveries of cash or assets due to the <strong>Unit</strong>’s involvement but transferred or paid directly to the third party.<br />

Measurement<br />

Prevention of loss - current year<br />

This is measured by comparing current actual expenditure reported by the third party for the current year with the projected expenditure, using<br />

the results in the previous year (before the <strong>Unit</strong>’s intervention) escalated by an inflation factor.<br />

Prevention of loss - rollover cases<br />

This represents cases where the investigations continue into the following years and are measured by comparing the current actual expenditure<br />

reported by the third party with projected expenditure, using the results of the year before the <strong>Unit</strong>’s intervention and escalating the expenditure<br />

by an infl ati c case.<br />

Recovery of cash to the <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Investigating</strong> <strong>Unit</strong> - new and rollover cases<br />

Cash recoveries are measured at their cash values as documented in the relevant Tribunal Rulings and Acknowledgements of Debt issued, to be<br />

recovered by the <strong>Unit</strong> or the relevant institution.<br />

Recovery of cash/asset to third party - new and rollover cases<br />

Assets recovered as a result of <strong>Unit</strong> intervention, to be paid to third parties, are reported at their market related values.<br />
