Programme1.1 key performance indicators
Performance indicators have been updated by aggregating the former programme-level satisfaction measures and conviction rate measures to reduce duplication. Targets for the aggregate measures have been maintained at 85% for stakeholder satisfaction and 90% for conviction rates. See notes 1 and 2 in the table below for further clarification.

1. This indicator replaces the three separate satisfaction indicators under the three aggregated programmes (formerly 1.1: National Security—Policing, 1.3: Operations—Policing and 1.4: Close Operational Support).
2. From 2013–14 this indicator reflects an enterprise-level conviction rate for all AFP investigations. Note that the separate conviction rate indicator for HighTech Crime Operations under the former programme 1.4 has been removed to avoid duplication.
3. Preventative activities for Uniform Protection include active patrolling, monitoring of electronic measures, alarms and CCTV, and access/egress support. Response activities include responses to security incidents.
4. Preventative activities for Close Personal Protection include close personal protection advances, major event planning and training. Response activities include provision of close personal protection and operational responses to major events.
5. Avoidable incidents are defined as incidents that could have been avoided (through physical action, intervention or reasonable intelligence) that result in death, injury or loss of dignity or embarrassment to those individuals and interests identified by the Commonwealth Government or the AFP as being at risk.
6. Indicates a positive return on investment (benefit from successful drug and fraud investigations exceeds law and justice costs).
7. The target ‘Increase’ in assets restrained reflects increases relative to the previous five-year average.

3.2Budgeted financial statements
3.2.1Analysis of budgeted financial statements
Changes to the departmental and administered budgeted financial statements since the 2013–14 Portfolio Budget Statements include actual financial results for 2012–13, new measures, movement of funds and indexation updates.
Departmental
Movements are primarily due to the combined impact of expense and savings measures, including:
•increased funding of $22.354m for the Official development assistance—Papua New Guinea expanded aid package measure
•increased funding of $8.784m under the Operation Sovereign Borders—enhancing people smuggling intelligence gathering, disruption and joint policing measure net of the transfer to the Australian Crime Commission
•increased funding of $7.400m under the Pacific Police Development Programme for the reallocation of administered funding
•other movements in budget measures and government efficiencies between years.
The overall change to the budgeted departmental balance sheet primarily reflects the update of the 2012–13 actuals, which results in revised opening balances.
The estimated 2013–14 capital budget of $122.292m is after a net reduction of $21.607m since the previously published estimate of $143.899m. The reduction represents a net movement from the previously published estimate largely attributed to movement of capital funds related to the Strengthening National Security—Aviation Security Accommodationand AFP Forensics Facilitymeasures and new capital budget measures.
