1 Of the GIA received, £240,000 relating to 2020-21 was repaid during 2021-22.
2 During 2020-21, due to the uncertainty of the Commissions income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, DCMS provided additional GIA funding to enable the Commission to maintain its reserves at the minimum level of £3.5 million.
This funding was in substance GIA and was been treated in the same way as other GIA receipts from DCMS. In accordance with the FReM, GIA is treated as a financing transaction rather than as revenue as it is a contribution from a controlling entity. This GIA of £794,000 was offset from GIA receipts from DCMS received during 2021-22.
