5 The work of the Commission has produced incidental benefits, not related to its main task. One instance is especially notable. In Tasmania the standard of maintenance of most capital assets—railways, roads, bridges, etc.—had been very inadequate, apparently because of an attempt to minimize budget deficits. The Commission brought this fact to the light and in 1933-4 Tasmania reformed its financial practice by making adequate provision for maintenance. Correct and clear presentation of the public accounts is a great advantage and it can be anticipated that, as a result of the work of the Commission, the financial statements of the Australian states will be improved.
