or “Rules for hiring government workers don't apply when moving someone from a closing office to a new one.”
You could also call this:

“The Authority must give the Minister a final report about what they did and how they spent money before they close down.”

When the Building Authority is being dissolved, they need to give a final report to the Minister as soon as they can after this part of the law starts. This report needs to tell the Minister about what the Authority did in the last financial year before this section of the law began. The report also needs to include financial statements that follow the rules in Part 5 of the Public Finance Act 1989. These statements need to be checked by the Auditor-General, who will write an audit report. The Authority also needs to write a management statement about the financial statements. After the Minister gets this report, they have to show it to the House of Representatives, following the rules in section 44A of the Public Finance Act 1989.
