Explanation of significant variances compared with previous fiscal year
Total travel:
Compared with fiscal 2022-23, the Commission's travel expenses increased mainly due to a greater number of employees traveling for professional development and knowledge acquisition in order to maintain their professional accreditation. These expenses are for two conferences that are highly relevant to our work. Additionally, since one of the conferences was not available virtually, travel expenses were necessary.
Hospitality:
Compared with fiscal year 2022-23, departmental hospitality expenditures have remained unchanged.
Conference fees:
There were no conference fees expenditures for this reporting period.Minister and minister’s exempt staff - International travel:
